Andy Roe accepts recommendations after review uncovers institutional misogyny, racism and bullying
A culture of misogyny, racism and bullying at London’s fire brigade cannot be “put down to a few bad apples” the head of the fire service said after the release of a damning report into the culture of the UK’s largest firefighting and rescue organisation.
The independent report released on Friday features the anonymous accounts of more than 2,000 staff members detailing colleague abuse, including from a black firefighter who had a noose placed above his locker and a Muslim colleague who had bacon and sausages stuffed in his pockets. Female firefighters reported being groped, beaten and having their helmets filled with urine.
