Havering's 2021 dossier reveals a culture of normalised racism and sexism, with staff fearing to speak out against these issues due to community backlash.
Councillor David Taylor criticized the council for suppressing the report, stating that transparency is essential, regardless of the discomfort it may cause.
Despite releasing a redacted version, the council's document omitted key terms like sexism and racism, leading to scrutiny from local government associations.
Andrew Blake-Herbert, the council's chief executive, acknowledged the unpleasantness of the report's content but emphasized minimal evidence of the issues specified.
