He's
been described as having a superlative track-record as a trail-blazer and mould-breaker in the fields of diversity, equality and organisational change.
Lord Ouseley is involved with a wide range of charitable and voluntary organisations and has been Chairman of the Policy Research Institute on Ageing and Ethnicity at Bradford University; Kick It Out
(the campaign to kick racism out of football); PRESET Education and Training Trust; the Prince's Trust Ethnic Minorities Advisory Committee; and the Caribbean Advisory Group for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. |
"The media will not accept blame for feeding xenophobic and racist prejudices...
but where do people get their information, if not from politicians and the
media?"
