Lucy Faithfull Foundation - Child Protection Charity

Lucy Faithfull Foundation pays tribute to Tony Morrison

It is with immense sadness that we heard about the tragic death of Tony Morrison. Today we pay tribute to a great man.

Chief Executive, Hilary Eldridge said: “‘The Trustees and staff of Lucy Faithfull Foundation are appalled at the tragic news of Tony Morrison’s death in a snowmobiling accident in Canada.

“Our staff have been active members of NOTA since its beginnings in the early 1990s.

“I remember the drive and enthusiasm Tony displayed in setting up NOTA and the way in which he engaged and worked collaboratively with others to establish it as a true ‘grass roots’ organisation. He was someone who made a real difference to staff working with child sexual abuse and to the effective protection of children and vulnerable people.

“His subsequent work in respect of supervision was both groundbreaking and influential; his focus on the rights of client groups and the duties of professionals towards them was always refreshing and inspiring.

“We wish to extend our deepest sympathy to Tony’s family and our friends and colleagues who knew him well. We will all miss him so much.”

Tony was a founding member of NOTA and was their first chair from 1991-1995. Anyone wishing to post a tribute to Tony can do so on the NOTA website.
