I have responsibility for developing diversity strategy at the V&A museum of art and design in London. This is a cross museum role which entails working with all departments and areas of activity in order to develop a fully inclusive museum which considers all aspects of diversity - gender, class, ethnicity, faith, age, sexuality etc. The Museum has taken a lead role in relation to cultural diversity, drawing on its world collections and developing key partnerships with black and ethnic minority organisations in the UK.
Previous to coming to the V&A I ran adult and community education, community development and inner city regeneration programmes in Hackney , one of the most culturally diverse boroughs in the UK. I have over thirty years experience of working on equality and diversity issues both in education, local government, community development and museums.
