Lord Duncan McNair has experience of both politics and business and has an ability to think and act strategically in both solving problems and devising new approaches.

This has given him an understanding of Parliament and how and where to push to make needed changes.

Duncan has long understood that education is the key to personal and community development. In 2003, he took a team of instructors to Khartoum University and delivered a much acclaimed course in learning how to learn to 28 university lecturers from five different universities.
His own educational endeavours are in the field of human rights education and he founded Peaceful Planet Human Rights Education, a UK registered not for profit organisation in 2015, exactly 800 years after the signing of Magna Carta. Peaceful Planet now has courses in Arabic, Kurdish, Urdu, Farsi and Turkish as well as English and is in discussion with government people in the Horn of Africa about implementing Human Rights education and Human Dignity Awareness training, and also bringing much needed reform to the criminal justice and peace and security arrangements in one of the countries of the region.
