Experience, Background and Services:
Kieran has extensive experience in the field of human trafficking, modern slavery and homelessness, particularly in management roles overseeing the provision of care and accommodation for vulnerable individuals and potential victims of exploitation.
His expertise derives from several decades of professional engagement, during which he collaborated closely with various governmental agencies and frontline professionals dedicated to mitigating instances of child criminal and sexual exploitation.
As Operations Manager for the Salvation Army’s Anti-Trafficking and Modern Slavery Operations department, Kieran delivered support to British and foreign national potential victims of modern slavery and exploitation.
His current work as an Expert Witness with Black Box Research and Consultancy is underpinned by a tireless commitment to aid in the delivery of equitable outcomes in the Criminal Justice System.

Black Box Research and Consultancy was founded by Dr Grace Robinson in 2019.
Its primary aim is to support victims – and increase awareness – of modern slavery.
Our Expert Witness service has assisted in promoting justice in over 350 criminal cases over the last three years.
We specialise in the illicit-drugs economy (trafficking and importation, drug pricing and valuations, drug network structures and hierarchies) and modern slavery (forced labour, criminal exploitation and County Lines).
Our experts have given evidence in a wide variety of modern slavery cases. Alongside British defendants, we have also assisted on a number of foreign national cases, including Albanian, Romanian and Vietnamese nationals, which have led to acquittals prior to or at trial.
As well as the Criminal Courts, we have also prepared reports for First-Tier Tribunals (Immigration and Asylum cases).
