“A compassionate Judge, a thoughtful and caring man, and someone who can take us into a safer future for our nations’
women and children,” is how Chief Executive of Women’s Refuge Dr Ang Jury describes the appointment of Judge Andrew
Becroft in his appointment as future Children’s Commissioner.
“I have seen the fair and considered work of Judge Becroft over the years, and with the immense change now facing our
