Show Notes
Siobhan Blake is the Chief Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in the West Midlands and the National CCP Lead for the CPS on rape and serious sexual offence prosecutions.
It's a huge and tough job, so how do you not let it creep and seep into your personal life? In a way, it's something we can all take heed of; we all have people and experiences in our lives that we probably should keep at arm's length.
Siobhan's journey is one of determination, empathy and a pathological hatred of bullies.
Leona talks to her about:
- The impact of dealing with all of life's bad people
- How it's possible to see the good instead of the bad
- Why you shouldn't mess with middle-aged women
- Society and the role it plays in defeating offenders
- Her journey into law
- How she helped changed the judicial experience for victims
