Current Non-Executive Director (Diversity and Inclusion) at a local NHS mental health Trust. Experienced community development professional, speaker and trainer specialising in equality, diversity and inclusion; mental health provision; anti-racism; social justice and rights advocacy. With over 20 years experience in community development work, I have designed and developed several specialised training packages relevant to services in Devon and Cornwall, drawn from an evidence base gained through involvement with regional and national networks. Through a combination of training provision, strategic engagement and advocating a rights-based approach, I am skilled at facilitating change and supporting services to deliver equitable access, services and outcomes for minoritised communities and individuals. My experience spans a range of sectors, including health, justice, higher education and the third sector. I am known for my open and non-judgmental approach and bring passion and enthusiasm to learning.
