The PT Show - Spotlight on Dr Patrick Vernon OBE
On our show today we have a former member of the Labour and the Coalition Government Ministerial Advisory for Mental Health. He was a former councillor in Hackney between 2006 to 2014 and was appointed by Jeremy Corbyn as Race Equalities Adviser to the Shadow Equalities Ministerial team between 2015 to 2017. He is also founder of Every Generation Media and 100 Great Black Britons, which develops education programmes, publications and films on cultural heritage and family history. Our guest is a passionate campaigner for racial justice and social equality, and a key community voice on Race, Mental Health & Well-Being for minority communities. He has played a pivotal part in campaigning for justice for the Windrush generation.
He took the government to task for the slow accountability towards compensation for the Windrush generation and his current petition to amend the workings of the scheme has been signed by the prominent names including Thandie Newton and Lenny Henry.
The work of Dr Patrick Vernon Continues
