Board members

Caroline Corby - Chair

Caroline Corby is the Chair of the Professional Standards Authority.

Caroline attended a comprehensive school in north London. She studied for a degree in Mathematics and Statistics at Bristol University and then worked in the City for 13 years, specialising in private equity. During this period, she served as a non-executive director on around 10 private sector boards across a range of industries.

After taking a career break to raise her three daughters, Caroline joined the board of London Probation Trust in 2007 and subsequently became Chair of that organisation. Caroline's switch from the private to the public sector was motivated by a wish to do work with a greater social purpose.

Since 2015, Caroline has undertaken a number of public appointments and she has chaired fitness to practise hearings for several of the statutory health regulators. Today, as well as her role at the PSA, Caroline is Chair of the Parole Board for England and Wales, Chair of Peabody Trust, one of the UK's oldest and largest housing associations, and she is a non-executive director of the Security Industry Authority.

Caroline wanted to join the PSA as she is committed to public protection, particularly given the vulnerability of so many patients and service users, and she enjoys teamwork and public service.
