PSA welcomes Ododo Ediagbonya to its Board

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Ododo Ediagbonya who joins the PSA’s Board as an Associate Member today (1 June 2026). 

Ododo is a public sector leader with experience in governance, public investment oversight and system improvement across local government and the Greater London Authority.

Ododo’s career has spanned public and third-sector organisations, with roles at London Borough of Waltham Forest, City of London Corporation and United Colleges Group before joining the Greater London Authority, where she has worked across skills and employment, environment and energy, and corporate portfolio and governance functions. 

Her current work focuses on oversight of local authority activity within London’s adult skills system, alongside development of capacity and capability interventions for adult education providers across the capital. 

Ododo will bring to our Board her commitment to governance, equality, diversity and inclusion, and public protection. 

Alan Clamp, PSA Chief Executive, said: 

“I am very pleased to welcome Ododo to the PSA. I look forward to her adding her insights to the diversity of perspectives around the Board table.” 

Caroline Corby, PSA Chair, said: 

“I look forward to working with Ododo. She joins our Board as we embark on delivering the aims in our new Strategic Plan and we welcome her contribution to shaping our activities.” 

The Associate Board Member role exists to provide the Board with diversity of thought and provide the candidate with the opportunity to take their first step towards a Non-Executive Board role. This is not a formal Board member in statute and has no associated voting rights but otherwise will play a full role in Board and Committee meetings, helping to shape our strategic planning and decision-making.

Notes to the editor 

1. The Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA) is the UK’s oversight body for the regulation of people working in health and social care. Our statutory remit, independence and expertise underpin our commitment to the safety of patients and service-users, and to the protection of the public. There are 10 organisations that regulate health professionals in the UK and social workers in England by law. We audit their performance and review their decisions on practitioners’ fitness to practise. We also accredit and set standards for organisations holding registers of health and care practitioners not regulated by law. We collaborate with all of these organisations to improve standards. We share good practice, knowledge and our right-touch regulation expertise.  
2. We also conduct and promote research on regulation. We monitor policy developments in the UK and internationally, providing guidance to governments and stakeholders. Through our UK and international consultancy, we share our expertise and broaden our regulatory insights. 
3. Our values are – integrity, transparency, respect, fairness and teamwork – and we strive to ensure that they are at the core of our work.
