Parliamentary excerpt

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to tackle misogyny in police forces in England and Wales.

Government answer

Answering body: Home Office

The Government remains determined to tackle misogyny in the police. That is why His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) was tasked with reviewing vetting and counter-corruption arrangements in policing across England and Wales looking in particular at what forces are doing to identify and deal with misogynistic behaviour.

The inspectorate’s findings were published on 2 November and whilst we welcome the report’s conclusion that culture is improving, the findings about adverse attitudes towards women are unacceptable and we expect all forces to take action in response as a matter of urgency.

We also expect the second part of the Angiolini Inquiry to further examine some of the issues raised by the inspectorate related to policing and the safety of women.
