In December 2020, a 15-year-old black schoolgirl, referred to as Child Q, was strip-searched by Metropolitan Police officers in a school setting. PC Victoria Wray admitted to failings during the search, which occurred while the girl was menstruating. Wray stated she believed she was following the procedures set forth by others, including her superior officers. During the misconduct panel, Wray acknowledged that the search should not have been conducted in the first place and reflected on the need for improved communication and decision-making in such sensitive situations, particularly concerning race.

If I am aware of the stereotypes, I don't use those stereotypes to make any decisions.
No, not at all.
There were so many things that should've been done.
