Met Police officer used 'racist and sexist language' in case of 'gross misconduct'

A Met cop would have been sacked if still serving after making racist and sexist remarks. The officer - referred to solely as ‘Mr T’ during his misconduct hearing - served at Little Ilford police station.

The panel found that Mr T’s behaviour amounted to gross misconduct after using the P-word as “banter”. It heard that on August 11, 2022, Mr T had said the word ‘Pakistani’ but added a long pause halfway through the word for comedic effect.

The remark was made in front of two Met officers who were of Pakistani heritage, in an area with a strong Pakistani community. Mr T tried to wriggle off the accusation by saying he just so happened to take a breath while saying the word.

But the panel rejected this, adding that it would be a “very odd” place to take a breath. Mr T was also found to make coarse, sexist comments about a local councillor, referred to as Ms B.

Mr T said that “she fancies a bit of him”, that “she likes uniform,” and made remarks of a sexual nature. He also described the councillor as being “fit” and added that “she wasn’t bad”.

The panel report read: “In the light of the severity of the gross misconduct found the panel considered that had Mr T still been a serving member of the police service, the appropriate and proportionate sanction in this case would have been dismissal without notice.

It continued: “A final written warning would be totally inappropriate and disproportionate in the light of the seriousness of the allegations found proved in respect of Mr T and harm caused to the reputation of the Metropolitan Police Service as a whole and the public confidence in it.”

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
