Nuffield College's Black History Month event this year is with Visiting Fellow Dr Alison Heydari, who will be speaking on Trust, Performance and the Future of Public Service.
Alison was appointed as Director for the Police Race Action Plan in 2023, which sees her driving a national change programme necessary to address critically low levels of trust and confidence in Black communities and improve operational effectiveness. Her varied career as a detective and in uniform roles include Public Protection, geographic commander and emergency response commander. Alison has managed impactive community issues, driven the strategic response to hate crime, harmful practices and improving victim care, and was a crisis Negotiator for eight years. Her policing imperative is to utilise the tenets of Procedural Justice to cocreate solutions to community problems, build legitimacy and stakeholder trust, reduce harm to communities and meet the need for greater equity in criminal justice outcomes.
