The Award for Promoting Equality of Opportunity recognises work as a psychologist that has made an exceptional and sustained contribution to challenging social inequalities in relation to gender, race, ethnic origin, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, disability or age.

I am delighted to accept it on our collective behalf.

In seeking to promote equality of opportunity at a macro level, we are contributing to applying psychology as a population science.”
