BAMEHUB-UK NETWORK C.I.C. is a platform that aims to bridge the gap and improve communication between BAME communities and the UK mainstream. It serves as a voice for BAME communities living in the UK, as well as their non-BAME friends. The organisation recognises and seeks to address the structural and systemic inequalities that exist within public services such as education, housing, policing, and other social sectors. With a multi-ethnic approach, BAME HUB-UK NETWORK C.I.C. focuses on managing ethnic diversity by implementing early intervention and prevention measures, as well as resolving ethnic crises and conflicts through conflict resolution strategies. The organisation’s primary objectives include empowering and advancing social cohesion by bringing people from different social, economic, cultural, and faith backgrounds together through open dialogue. 
In our exploration, we have uncovered profound structural inequalities that persist in various aspects of society, including health, education, crime, policing, and the experiences of individuals from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds following migration. These challenges encompass a range of difficulties, such as racism, discrimination, hate crime, hostile immigration policies, cultural differences, language barriers, inadequate housing, unemployment, and poverty. It is crucial to acknowledge that these factors have direct and indirect effects on the mental health and overall well-being of BAME communities, often leaving them more vulnerable to adverse health outcomes, including a higher risk of mortality from diseases like Covid-19.
Our Mission : is to bridge the gap and improve communication between the UK mainstream and BAME communities.
Our vision: is to empower and equip BAME communities and their families with skills to be self-sufficient that help them avoid pitfalls associated with lack of empowerment and/or information. This will improve their social standing by being more cohesive, socially, and economically within the British Society as they build their lives in the UK.

We are happy to work with statutory and non-statutory agencies and professionals from all backgrounds including; Legal representatives – solicitors, social workers, police officers and prisons, academicians/researchers, local authorities, secondary schools, colleges, universities, NHS and health professionals,

Our students were excited to attend police summer work placement with the Merseyside police force. They have a lot to tell about the police, and most importantly, their perception of the police has changed. According to them, their first activity with police was a presentation from the Roads Policing Input, which was very informative about the dangers of tactical pursuits and the techniques they use to ensure public safety is not compromised.
During the training, police presented different segments that make up the Matrix. To the s students’ surprise, Matrix consisted of more than Matrix patrol vans as some of the segments include Motorbike handlers, Organised Crime Groups disruption and Dog handlers, among others. They were also shown the equipment in Matrix patrol vans and some examples of incidents where the Matrix team deployed to maintain public order. Dog Section Input presentation included how the team handles dangerous dogs and the decision-making process involved in deciding the best decision for the animal and the public. Additionally, different types of dogs used by the police and the other training utilised. Lastly, one of the officers brought their police dog to the meeting room and allowed the student to interact with the dog and even pet her.
On the second day, the first activity was the Protective Training School Input which included the Use of Force, Stop Search and the National Decision-Making Model. This gave the trainees an understanding of police officers’ decision-making process when completing different job functions, such as arresting a suspect. The police constable stressed that preventing harm to members of the public was the top priority in decision-making and gave students some model examples that they use to reduce risk to the public. The second part of the Protective Training School Input was a practical session where students were separated into three groups with three police constables. The constables gave an overview on how to use handcuffs and batons before students were allowed to put handcuffs on each other and safely remove them. Moreover, students were given instructions on how much they could tighten the cuffs and the dangers of applying them in the wrong position as the individual could be seriously injured. Students were shown the correct method of applying force with the baton on a training mat and the benefits of using the technique they were taught.
In the end, they undertake Hydra Training exercises. To begin with, the presenter explained in more detail how police officers use the National Decision-Making model in the field. He continued by asking us different questions and our answers revealed each segment of another model called Code of Ethics. According to the students, this classroom-based activity was very engaging, and the trainees were able to have a laugh as the presenter used some volunteers to demonstrate how easy it can be for our decisions to be influenced by gut feelings. This activity surprised many of the trainees because they were influenced by their gut feeling when answering the questions, which prepared them for the next task. Hydra is a simulation used to train aspiring police officers by putting them in a controlled room with a camera and a microphone. They were asked to pick on two incidents to respond to and justify why. They split into three groups again and had a chance to experience Hydra by deciding to respond to 1 incident based on information and questions they could ask to gather more information. This time-constrained exercise created disagreements between groups, but all groups managed to pick one incident within the time limit. However, some groups decided within the last minute. After completing two separate simulations, they returned to the classroom, where the presenter revealed the appropriate incident students should have picked based on risk, age of the individual and mental health capacity, among others. They had a short question-and-answered session before leaving the Hydra Training Exercises.
On the third day was Crime Scene Investigation Input. Firstly, three police constables described how police radios are used and how many channels there are in Liverpool. Trainees asked a few questions regarding the radio and the constables were happy to answer each question as they continued with the demonstrations. Furthermore, three more police constables joined the trainees, became involved in the demonstration, and answered some of the questions asked. The police constables shared their experiences during a call-out and their shift patterns. Some trainees were interested in hearing their experiences as they considered joining the police force and wanted more details on overtime and how long the constables would stay at a crime scene while on duty.
The last activity trainees participated in was a role-playing exercise with the Investigation Unit, which started in the classroom. This exercise was conducted by six police constables who introduced themselves and gave us an overview of their kit and how they use the equipment to assist an arrest. Students took turns putting the police stab-proof vests on and a belt which held the handcuffs and other equipment used to detain a suspect who is aggressive towards the officer. They took the equipment off, wore some police jackets and were split into four groups, each given a radio and a call-out number. They headed to the training ground and had to deal with four different call-outs provided to them through the radio by a dispatcher. The four scenarios included 10-year-old boys kicking a football on some shop walls, a drunken man stumbling across the street, a report of someone who stole some cigarettes from a shop and a report that a 20-year-old man had been spotted dealing drugs in a park. Some instructions were provided on how to use the radio, and the decisions made by each team on how to handle the call-outs were different, with some groups choosing to arrest and others simply searching for the suspect and letting them go once nothing was found. The suspects did not make it easy for the teams as they conformed to their roles and made it challenging to detain or refuse to consent to a search. The teams handled the sudden changes in the suspects’ behaviours and resolved the report by either putting them in custody or advising them of the dangers of their choices. Each resolution was reported back to the dispatcher, who closed the report and gave each team a different call out until all teams had completed all four scenarios. They returned to the classroom for the debrief and a Q&A session with the constables.
