- Community Pride not Prejudice. Making diversity work in Bradford. 2001. Recognising that there were divisions in the district, Bradford Council and its partners commissioned a review of Racial Equality in the District led by Sir Herman Ouseley. An independent Review Panel was established to look at: * the causes of conflict between and within communities. * what could be done to address these causes. * how to promote better understanding of each other and mutual respect. A key element of the review was the establishment of a 100 strong assembly of individuals and organisations to ensure that the Review Panel involved all of the District's diverse communities. A public survey was commissioned to find the perceptions and views of residents across the District.
