CABE is pleased to welcome two new Lay Members to the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC).

Sally Allbeury and Vicky Smith will be sitting on the PCC with immediate effect following successful interviews with members of the CABE Executive Team.

The PCC is independent, reporting to the CABE Board and with the principal purpose of ensuring that the Association’s disciplinary procedures are conducted to the highest standards.

Sally’s career also includes senior leadership roles within the UK Border Force and Home Office, including national operational oversight, critical incident management, and investigative inspections on behalf of Parliament.

Vicky Smith

Vicky brings to the PCC a wealth of legal and regulatory experience, honed over a distinguished career as a practising solicitor and tribunal Judge. She has served as Chair, Legal Assessor, and Lay Panel Member for leading organisations such as Social Care Wales, the Health and Care Professions Council, and the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
