Trevor Phillips, OBE (born 31 December 1953) is a British writer, broadcaster and former politician. In March 2015, Trevor was appointed as the President of the Partnership Council of the John Lewis Partnership for a three-year term. He is the first external appointment since 1928.〔http://www.johnlewispartnership.co.uk/media/press/y2015/press-release-20-february-2015-appointment-of-partnership-council-president.html〕 He is Deputy Chair of the Board of the National Equality Standard, and other business appointments include chair of Green Park Diversity Analytics, director of WebberPhillips, a data analytics provider; and director of Pepper Productions, an independent television production company. He is a member of the board of the Barbican Arts Centre and the Council of Aldeburgh Music; and a trustee of the Social Mobility Foundation, among other charities. He is a former chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) and a former television executive and presenter. He became head of the Commission for Racial Equality in 2003, and on its abolition in 2006 was appointed full-time chair of its successor, the EHRC (initially called the Commission for Equality and Human Rights), which had a broader remit of combating discrimination and promoting equality across other grounds (age, disability, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation and gender reassignment).〔Vikram Dodd, ("Ministers pick Phillips to lead new human rights and equalities body" ), ''The Guardian'', 4 September 2006.〕 The EHRC also had the role of promoting and defending human rights, and secured recognition as the national human rights institution for Great Britain (alongside separate commissions in Northern Ireland and Scotland). Phillips' tenure as EHRC chair (which at his request became a part-time position in 2009) has at times been controversial. ==Early life== Phillips was born in London, the youngest of ten children. His parents emigrated from then British Guiana in 1950. He spent his childhood partly in British Guiana, and partly in Wood Green, North London; he attended Wood Green County Grammar School (became Wood Green Comprehensive in 1967) on White Hart Lane, but took his A-levels at Queen's College in Georgetown, Guyana. He returned to London to study for a BSc in Chemistry at Imperial College London. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trevor Phillips」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
