John is Stop Hate UK’s Assistant Director for Helpline Contracts and Training Services, and has been with the charity since March 2022.
Based in Merseyside, John plays a key role in responding to and developing tailor-made training sessions and presentations to a full range of authorities, organisations and educational establishments that meets any specific learning needs. Having previously worked with Victim Support and the Anthony Walker Foundation, John has almost 30 years of experience working with Criminal Justice partners, local and regional authorities, third sector, corporate and community groups.
He uses his experience and understanding to share, encourage and influence change for the good in settings ranging from Community Safety Strategy partnerships to small groups of young people and staff in the full range of educational settings.
His own lived experiences of discrimination and those gained from his work directly supporting individuals, families and communities form the foundation on which John performs his role, committed to improving the quality of life for those that Stop Hate UK, and our partners, provide services. John is currently overseeing training programmes Stop Hate UK is delivering in Leeds, Sutton and Merton to young people in schools and colleges, community members and professionals and is experienced in delivering to a full range of audiences.
John is meticulous with his training responsibilities always looking to update learning resources to facilitate learning and deeper understanding to benefit all those who take up Stop Hate UK’s training services. This is evidenced by the development of our much-requested Anti-Muslim hate/ Islamophobia awareness sessions and our Antisemitism sessions delivered in recent months to NHS England; Great Ormond Street Hospital; the Diocese of Liverpool; Executive Boards and Elected Members across the country.
