BlackRainbow’s Social Values

BlackRainbow is committed to creating safe, trusted environments for reporting and supporting those affected by serious and organised crime. While our core business is in investigative technology, our people and policies reflect a deep understanding of the human impact of crime.

Our approach to Social Value focuses on delivering impactful learning interventions through a combination of formal training, community outreach, and strategic partnerships. These initiatives are embedded in our operational culture and supported by contractual commitments that release staff to contribute their expertise to national policing and youth engagement.

Through our training contributions to the College of Policing, our staff help equip senior investigators with the skills to manage victim engagement sensitively and strategically. This includes modules on family liaison, trauma-informed communication, and media handling—ensuring that victims are supported with care and professionalism throughout the investigative process.

PIP 4 Training

Matt Bonner, Our Product Manager, plays a pivotal role in delivering high-level investigative training under the College of Policing’s PIP (Professionalising the Investigative Process) framework. His involvement spans:

• PIP Level 3: Training Senior Investigating Officers (SIOs) in major crime and serious organised crime. He commits to delivering at least two core modules annually.
• PIP Level 4: Strategic management of complex crimes, including homicide, child sexual exploitation, and serious organised crime. Matt is one of only three subject matter experts nationally who consistently delivers this training, with over 360 officers trained over six years.

BlackRainbow supports Matt’s involvement by releasing him for four weeks annually, recognising the national demand for his expertise. This contribution is not financially motivated but driven by a commitment to improving investigative standards and outcomes across UK policing. The officers trained by Matt have gone on to lead some of the country’s most high-profile investigations, including the cases of Olivia Pratt-Korbel, Lucy Letby, and Sarah Everard.

Action for Youth

Stuart Blaik’s Youth Outreach and Crime Prevention Work

Stuart compliments Matt’s strategic training efforts by working at the grassroots level to prevent youth involvement in crime. His work includes:

• Action4Youth’s Breakout Programme: A 12-week initiative targeting young people in pupil referral units or those at risk of gang involvement and knife crime. Stuart delivers in-person sessions in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas, focusing on awareness, consequences, and prevention.
• Inspiration Programme: Stuart shares real-life case studies to inspire young people to consider careers in public service and understand the depth of investigative work.

BlackRainbow supports Stuart’s efforts by formally including training release in his contract, allowing him to engage with vulnerable youth and contribute to crime prevention. His work is impactful, with direct interventions such as identifying weapons hidden by students, and emotionally powerful storytelling that resonates with young audiences.
