Natalie Fleet has stepped down as safeguarding minister, calling it the bravest decision of her life after the role took a severe toll on her mental and physical health. Appointed just months ago, she described the job as “overwhelmingly triggering,” saying she couldn’t continue while feeling compromised. A survivor of childhood trauma, Fleet emphasized that the constant exposure to the worst of human behavior — especially as a woman whose stories often go unheard — was particularly devastating. She praised the importance of the role and offered full support to her successor, underscoring that victims deserve a minister operating at their absolute best. Elected MP for Bolsover in 2024, Fleet has long championed women’s voices and justice, making her resignation both personal and profoundly public.
