Ros Deo works at the NSPCC hub in Leeds, but started her Childline journey in Nottingham in 1995 where she first trained as a volunteer.

After moving to Bradford with her family in 1997, she began volunteering with the Leeds Childline team and, in 2010, took on a paid role with the service.

She worked with the team which dealt solely with online contacts, young people using the Childline website's 1-2-1 online service or emails.
