I am the Director of Bradford Hate Crime Alliance (BHCA), my role is to ensure that there is a robust partnership in place to address hate crime and hate crime reporting across the district.

I have a master’s degree in diversity management. Much of his work and experience addresses complex equality and diversity issues that impact on individuals, communities, and organisations,

I love working on and developing approaches that enable leaders to better understand the needs of the people they serve.

Our core priorities are:-

• Preventing hate crime by dealing with the beliefs and attitudes that can lead to hate crime. 
• Responding to hate crime in our communities with the aim of reducing the number of hate crime incidents.
• Increasing the reporting of hate crime.
• Improving support for the victims of hate crime.
• Building our understanding of hate crime.

I am always willing to listens to any thoughts and ideas you or your community may have. Please feel free contact me at BHCA. We are listening.

My qualifications include a degree in psychology and education, RSA certificate in counselling skills and a diploma in management studies.

I have been a part-time support worker with this project since it’s inception in 2016. I had previously worked in the supported housing sector for over twenty years, supporting marginalised young people.

I currently provide one-to-one support to young people who are felt to be at risk of radicalisation, offering a non-judgemental space in which to explore difficult issues, using active listening, empathy and a calm, patient approach to build trusting relationships.

Along with my colleagues I also provide educational and informational sessions for young people, parents and professionals

I joined BHCA in May 2021 after a long period of working with families affected by mental health. I graduated from Huddersfield University in 2013 and left with a degree in Behavioural Science.

I have since furthered my education achieving a level 2 in counselling and extra training in coaching. As part of the community support team my role involves much more than simply providing support.

My main role is to provide one-to-one support for young people who are at risk of radicalisation. I facilitate a safe, non-judgmental space for clients with the aim of creating a lasting, trusting bond. Using developed skills such as empathy and active listening I try to enhance engagement and make a real impact with my work.

I also provide awareness sessions and spend time ensuring my information and knowledge is current as my area of work is constantly evolving.
