🌳 Is the UK policing system pruning branches while the roots remain toxic?

Today, root and branch reform is the phrase on everyone’s lips.
But what does that actually mean in practice?

In my latest case study and podcast, I explore the UK’s proposed policing reforms through the lens of two powerful tools:
🧠 The Bias Impact Tree
🧭 The Six Stages Framework (SSF)

Using these tools, we go beyond headlines and restructure plans to ask:
👉 What lies beneath the surface of reform?
👉 Are we streamlining a system that’s still rooted in bias, fear, and power imbalance?

🔍 We diagnose:

• Why merging police forces and investing in tech may fix symptoms but not systems
• How deep-seated beliefs—about race, power, and community—still shape outcomes
• Where UK policing currently sits on the SSF continuum (spoiler: it’s between Stage -2 and Stage 0)
• What true cultural transformation requires—from leadership to public accountability

This is for anyone serious about justice, not just efficiency.

Let’s stop watering the leaves.
It’s time to heal the roots—and address the soil.
