 Award Winners in 2007 Kulbir Pasricha of the Kent police Kulbir Pasricha, a crime support officer with Kent Police, won the award for driving forward equality in the workplace over and above her full-time role and personal caring commitments. In her own time and initially using her own resources, she began in 2004 to design and run diversity workshops to promote better cultural understanding among her colleagues. In the early days she met some resistance, but by the time of this award, after 50 workshops, she has won the hearts and minds of her colleagues and managers. So far nearly 300 people have attended her workshops, from the Kent police, the police authority and the Crown Prosecution Service The Trust notes with pleasure that, since this presentation, Kulbir has been appointed to the post of Area Diversity Manager, North Kent Policing Area.
