A former 999 call-handler has accused the Met Police of breaking its promise to listen to whistleblowers, after a colleague she reported was sacked but then given back his job.
Issy Vine is suing the force, claiming constructive dismissal, after a fellow call-handler made a series of comments, including describing a rape victim as a "slut". The staff member was sacked for gross misconduct in November 2023 but reinstated on appeal.
Ms Vine said bosses told her the original disciplinary panel had been too heavily influenced by the Casey Review, which found the Met to be institutionally misogynist, racist and homophobic.
The Met said the "discriminatory comments" had been "entirely unacceptable" but added that the outcome of the misconduct process had been "subject to a thorough review".
