About me
Erica is the CEO of Breck Foundation, a charity working every day to raise awareness and reduce the risk children face online.
Erica has almost 20 years of experience in safeguarding, starting her career as a Police Officer with Sussex Police in 2006. Realising prevention was more her forte, Erica left the police to join the Probation Service, working with adult offenders and later moving into youth offender management with East Sussex County Council. After a few more years in the public sector, the charity sector came calling and Erica began managing missing children services with Catch22 before moving over to Missing People charity to set up and lead their missing from home services across the UK, most notably the first Pan Sussex service commissioned by Sussex Police and all three Sussex local authorities. Erica decided to move away from front-line delivery and service management to more strategic organisational development roles, as Head of Delivery & Development at the UK-wide sport for development charity, Sported, and most recently as Chief Operating Officer at MindOut LGBTQ+ Mental Health Service.
