Anthony’s work has involved establishing and coordinating London-wide race equality networks and he has led initiatives to address racial prejudice in hate crime offenders. He has sound working knowledge of equality legislation and has substantial experience providing training and support to voluntary, public and private sector agencies. This includes reviews of equality management processes and tailored support to assist organisations to mitigate the effects of racial bias.
