Associate Consultant - Race Equity, Culture & Organisational Review
I provide bespoke consultancy on issues of race, equity, and inclusion, supporting organisations to build stronger, more accountable cultures that work for everyone. My consultancy is grounded in lived experience, strategic insight, and a deep understanding of the systemic barriers that impact the Black community—within and beyond the workplace.
My services include:
- Organisational Reviews and Cultural Diagnostics:
I lead and contribute to comprehensive reviews that examine workplace culture, policies, and practices through a race equity lens. This includes identifying patterns of exclusion, surfacing hidden barriers, and offering clear, evidence-informed recommendations to drive sustainable change.
- Strategic Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advice:
I support the development and implementation of inclusive strategies, ensuring your diversity plans are not only aspirational but actionable—embedded in every level of the organisation, from governance to day-to-day delivery.
- Policy and Process Evaluation:
I provide expert analysis of recruitment, retention, and progression processes to ensure fairness, transparency, and impact. My work helps senior leaders challenge legacy systems and make confident, informed decisions about structural change.
My approach is supportive yet constructively challenging, drawing on both professional expertise and personal insight to inspire reflection, shift mindsets, and build lasting impact.
S.A.F.E. (Shaping Active Futures for Empowerment)
Why S.A.F.E
Research, including reports from Crest Advisory, highlights the deep-rooted lack of trust Black children have in the police—shaped by experiences of adultification, stop and search, and systemic racial bias.
To truly safeguard our children, we must start these critical conversations early. This means not only addressing vulnerability but also empowering young people to shape their own safety and well-being.
Early dialogue is vital for mental health, helping Black children see themselves as active participants rather than passive recipients in their interactions with authority.
At the heart of S.A.F.E.’s mission is education, recognising that amplifying the voices of young people is essential to building informed, respectful, and equitable systems of policing.
The S.A.F.E. (Shaping Active Futures for Empowerment) Programme is designed to create a safe and open space for Black minority young people to have honest conversations about trust, policing, and their lived experiences.
It is led by a Black former officer, using their lived experience to explore why some Black children do not always feel safe around the police. This programme is not about crime—it is about trust, relationships, and solutions.
The SAFE programme is designed to create long-term impact by shifting perspectives, building trust, and equipping young people with the tools to navigate interactions with authority confidently
Young people leave feeling more empowered, informed, and able to challenge unfairness constructively. This isn’t about making them ‘accept’ policing as it is—but about helping them shape what it should be.
