Announcement

On behalf of the Executive Director of Schools, I wish to announce the following:

Beth Woodstone – Senior Child Protection Advisor has made the decision to resign from her position to take up a senior leadership role at a women’s trauma recovery service. Beth’s last day will be 4 July 2025.

Beth was appointed to the substantive position of Senior Child Protection Advisor in January 2022 within the sub-team of Child Safety and Professional Services (CSaPS) in People and Culture.

During her time with CEDoW, Beth has been exceptionally dedicated, bringing significant experience from front line and senior management roles across the Child Safety spectrum, including statutory multi-agency teams, early intervention, program development and workforce capability building.

Throughout her tenure, Beth demonstrated outstanding leadership and expertise in child safety system initiatives and training. Her academic background, including a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science and a Master of International Relations, underpinned her strong professional capabilities. Her dedication and commitment have greatly benefited our organisation and the students and families we serve.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude for her significant contributions. We wish her the very best in her future endeavors and every success and fulfilment in her next chapter. 

We will begin the process of recruiting for a new Senior Child Protection Advisor in due course.

Natasha O'Donoghue
Director – People and Culture
