Responsibilities
What the Executive Director leads
The Executive Director is accountable for how BAF sets its priorities, designs its programmes and protects the people it works with.
Partnerships
Building relationships with clinicians, educators, faith and community leaders, and local organisations so that BAF's work is designed with communities rather than delivered to them.
Clinical safety and safeguarding
Ensuring every programme respects clinical boundaries, protects young people, and routes urgent concerns to qualified emergency and crisis services.
Organisational stewardship
Accountability for how BAF is governed, resourced and evaluated — including transparency with funders, partners and the people BAF serves.
