"The Metropolitan Police's HR systems leadership, governance and culture are producing racial harm, a review of anti-black racism within the force has warned. The report draws on more than 40 years of evidence showing how racism has shaped the Met's relationship with black communities and affected black officers and staff. Shereen Daniels, author of 30 Patterns Of Harm: A Structural Review Of Systemic Racism Within The London Metropolitan Police Service, said discrimination is baked into the institutional design of the force."
"Commissioned from the consultancy HR Rewired, the review, said darker skinned staff are labelled confrontational while lighter skinned staff may receive quicker empathy and leniency. Plans that ignore this will always return to the same logic, manage perception, avoid power, thus continuing the cycle, she added. Scotland Yard said it welcomed the report in full and recognised the scale of the challenges set out."
