Javed Khan is the chief executive of Barnardo's, the UK's largest children's charity Barnardo's, since 2014, having previously been chief executive of Victim Support.[1]

Early life

Khan's parents emigrated from Kashmir, and he grew up in Birmingham, England.[1]

He has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Salford, after which he trained to be a teacher.[1][2]

Career

After training to be a teacher, Khan later worked as a director of education in local government, then the Government Office for London, before becoming CEO of Victim Support.[3]

In March 2014, just before he became its CEO, Barnardo's announced that its trustees were "looking into allegations" that Khan "was involved in an armed dispute in Pakistan" about land owned by his family[4],[5]

In an interview for Sky News in summer 2014,[6] Mr Khan sidestepped questions about if the local Police and Crime Commissioner should resign over systemic failure to tackle child sexual exploitation.

In a November 2016 interview in Management Today, Khan responded to an October 2015 cover story that charities were "in the depths of a serious crisis of trust", citing the need for "authentic and inspirational leadership".[7] In a July 2017 interview with New Philanthropy Capital, Khan explained about how difficult it was to have a real impact.[3]

On the review site "Glassdoor" only 42% of employees approve of Mr Khan as CEO of Barnardo's. [8]

Honours

In 2015, Khan was awarded an honorary doctorate by Birmingham City University.[1]
