Line management decisions at the Metropolitan police contributed to the deterioration of Nicola Forster's mental health, ultimately leading to her suicide, as highlighted by the coroner Emma Whitting.
Forster felt her line manager was targeting her and failing to act on her requests for occupational health support, creating a toxic work environment.
The Metropolitan Police Service was aware of Forster's mental health issues, including work-related PTSD, suggesting a lack of adequate support and intervention.
Coroner Whitting emphasized the importance of timely occupational health referrals and criticized the MPS' focus on managing upwards over the well-being of their employees.
