Peter Rouch
I work for the Church of England as Archdeacon of Bournemouth, and I am part of the Staff Team of the Bishop of Winchester. The area of my oversight includes a large part of south Hampshire and the Bournemouth corner of Dorset. As one aspect of my role I am deeply involved in the oversight of safeguarding within the Diocese, and this includes managing situations involving relationship violence. Before moving to Winchester I was a parish priest in a heavily deprived area of East Manchester where involvement with troubled households was a daily part of my life as a vicar and as chair of governors in a local school. My previous experience includes serving as a voluntary sector board member for several charities, and academic work as a research fellow at Oxford University. Before my ordination I worked as an Assistant Director of Barclays Bank.
I have a personal interest in wanting to assist the innovative work of Trust for preventing relationship violence.
