Mark Kerr, an expert in residential childcare, has been appointed interim chief executive with immediate effect following the retirement of his predecessor Peter Sandiford.
Clair Davies, who previously led Appletree Treatment Centre and specialises in therapeutic aspects of care, has been appointed chair of the CHA’s board, which is drawn from the organisation’s membership.
The board will now include a greater number of representatives from local authority, independent and charity run children’s homes who bring wide-ranging skills and expertise, the CHA has said.
Kerr said: “I am a passionate advocate of the residential childcare sector and believe that The CHA, with its membership focused on collaboration, innovation and sector leadership, is the platform that will drive important change in our sector and improve young lives.”
