"Sarwat impressed in NZ, bringing the experience of her profession in diversity and her work in organisational change into her contribution to building good inter-faith relationships wherever she is. She carries with her, her own wide experience of the world, living in Britain, in countries across the Middle East, and in New Zealand, together with her own heritage.
Without hesitation Sarwat offers her skills and her leadership, ready also to give articulate expression of faith, when the opportunity or need arises."

“Sarwat is objective, nuanced and brave. She is unafraid to tackle difficult issues head on and does so in an open, inclusive and thoughtful manner so as to provoke thought; enabling people to address issues by looking at them in ways that they had perhaps not previously considered. I have found her to be a much needed critical friend."

“Her charm, kindness and humility are utterly disarming. This makes it exceptionally easy for those she works with to learn in a non-threatening environment. She also fosters empathy: a capacity which is fundamental to recognising and celebrating diversity. Sarwat is an exceptional public speaker, leader, mentor and an inspirational role model."
