Kevin Crowley, Executive Director - Quality, Governance and Innovation

As Executive Director of Quality, Governance and Innovation, Kevin is charged with driving the strategic improvement of the organisation itself, and improving the quality of care delivered to our service users. He also has a number of statutory responsibilities within the organisation including CQC Nominated Individual, DPA Data Controller and Caldecott Guardian, and he sits on the joint board-exec integrated governance committee.

Kevin has worked within the substance misuse and social care field for seventeen years. He has been a Director with CRI since July 2005, when he took on the then London regional portfolio, helping to drive the growth and quality agenda before leaving that role with a regional turnover of over £55m.

Kevin’s extensive experience includes a role working for the National Treatment Agency, where he was responsible for the Drugs Intervention Programme, as well as a number of other policy objectives. He has also worked for the Home Office as a Regional Advisor; he has been a frontline worker in settings as diverse as criminal justice and homelessness; and he started his career in the field as a volunteer - a position he still believes is his most important.
