Network

The LAH Network is comprised of survivor activists, community advocates and multidisciplinary practitioners from various backgrounds.

The Network has four CIC Directors, two operational and two consultants, who work alongside a Coordinating Group (CG) responsible for the management of the Network based on proactive collaboration and co-production between survivors and professionals. Our Network Members also play an important role in developing our activities and resources via consultations, experience sharing and ideas to bring our communities together and make London a truly ACE-aware metropolis.

Leroy Logan

Consultant Director

Leroy was a founder of the Black Police Association Charitable Trust and one of the founders of the Black Police Association. Now retired from the Met Police, Leroy is perhaps one of the UK’s most highly decorated and most well known black police officers.
Leroy is a highly respected and well regarded commentator on policing in black communities and fundamentally believes that there is still much work to do in creating a more equitable and fair criminal justice system.
Leroy's autobiography titled "Closing Ranks: My Life as a Cop" was published in September 2020. His journey from a young scientist to a Met police officer has inspired the film "Red, White & Blue", part of the Small Axe series by the director Steve McQueen, where John Boyega plays Leroy. The film premiered on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 29 November 2020.
Leroy states: "I’m honoured to be a part of the LAH since its inception in 2019, because it identifies with the importance of an ACE’s informed approach to public services, in particular trauma informed policing. LAH is at the cutting edge of these issues and I truly believe it is in the process of being one of the most significant change agents in the new era of trauma informed public services.".
