Sir Christopher Kelly was appointed as chair of the King's Fund in August 2010, starting in October of that year.
Prior to this appointment he joined the board of the NSPCC in 2001, becoming its chair in January 2002 and standing down in October 2010. He is also chair of the Financial Ombudsman Service. In December 2007 he was appointed as chair of the Committee for Standards in Public Life.
His previous roles included director of monetary and fiscal policy and director of the budget and public finances at HM Treasury, where he spent 25 years from 1970 to 1995. After leaving the Treasury he became head of policy at the then Department of Social Security and in 1997 was appointed permanent secretary to the Department of Health.
Since leaving the civil service in 2001 he has chaired various reviews, including one on paying for the cost of long-term care for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and another on the arrest to sentence part of the criminal justice system which led to the creation of the Office for Criminal Justice Reform. In 2004 he also chaired the serious case review commissioned by the North East Lincolnshire Area Child Protection Committee into the Ian Huntley case.
Kelly has been a Charity Awards judge since 2007.

Chris Kelly, chair of NSPCC, discusses the major issues surrounding his governance. "With all of our activity one of the big issues for us is to make sure that we retain our focus.
