In this paper, we obtain uniform and non-uniform bounds on the Kolmogorov distance in the normal approximation for Jack deformations of the character ratio, by using Stein's method and zero-bias couplings. Our uniform bound comes very close to that conjectured by Fulman [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A, 108 (2004), 275--296]. As a by-product of the proof of the non-uniform bound, we obtain a Rosenthal-type inequality for zero-bias couplings.
