Radical Reformers ep.81: Enabling Leadership with Lucy Butler, Director, South East Regional Care Cooperative

Updated: Oct 29






In this latest episode of Radical Reformers, I am joined by Lucy Butler, Director of South East Regional Care Cooperative.


Lucy shares how her early life experience led her to a career in public services, starting in adult social care and ultimately to various leadership positions in children's services.

Most recently, Lucy was Director of Children’s Services at West Sussex. She discusses their improvement journey and the importance of ensuring a good culture filters all the way through an organisation and the key role persistence and consistency play in driving improvement.


My favourite part of this episode is where Lucy shares the turning point in her career when she helped fight against child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Oxfordshire. She highlights the creative thinking that led everyone from hoteliers to taxi drivers to become part of tackling CSE during her time at Oxfordshire County Council.


It’s an inspiring listen. Enjoy it!
