Thanks for all the warm and supportive messages to welcome me to @WorcCollegeOx. The rainbow flag was flying too. I start my first full week today and look forward to meeting students, staff and fellows in person or line to get to know everyone and set my priorities.
My sabbatical is over and I’m delighted - and privileged - to be starting today as the new Provost of Worcester College. I’m keen to meet students, staff, fellows and old members to build on the best traditions of Worcester and to create a forward-looking college.
Pleased @EHRC has agreed an action plan with @ukhomeoffice to address its Windrush failures. Evidence of the power of PSED and that there is still a lot to be learnt by government in avoiding race discrimination. @EHRC must monitor its implementation carefully #Windrush
“The experiences of the Windrush generation must never be repeated, and must never be forgotten.” Kishwer Falkner, @EHRCChair

''The focus needs to move on to the detail.''
@DavidIsaacUK1, former chair of the equality and human rights commission, says recommendations made in the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities review need to be implemented.

@MattChorley
And I totally agree with recommendation 1 of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities that @EHRC should receive increased funding for its enforcement work - something I have repeatedly called for #EqualityAct#Humanrights
Just been interviewed on @TimesRadio about the Commission on Race Disparities. The recommendations are actually quite sensible - we need to focus on the data and address the inequality of outcomes that Covid laid bare and that still exist in the criminal justice system
Welcome @jimpurnell on your first day @UAL. We all love the new view and are looking forward to the opening of our new @LCFLondon building and working with you.
To celebrate my first official day leading UAL, here's the view from the 8th floor of our LCF building - £150m of investment in East London. The team have adapted to working under social distancing, and are adding a floor every 3 to 4 weeks.
