Is the London Fire Brigade still 'misogynist and racist'?
A former firefighter says there's been a "lack of change" at the London Fire Brigade (LFB) a year after a damning review into its culture.
LFB was subject to an "enhanced level of monitoring" after an independent review found it was "institutionally misogynist and racist".
Gareth Dawes, who left the London Fire Brigade in September last year, said "negative experiences" continued to be happening. He also criticised LFB leaders saying, "I think they don't understand the gravity of the issue. I think it's very much focussed on bad apples and singular individuals rather than the whole organisation."
London Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said he was "working hard" to improve the culture at the brigade.
Gareth Dawes has been speaking to Salma El-Wardany on the 成人快手 Radio London Breakfast Show.
