Three Metropolitan Police officers are set to undergo gross misconduct hearings following a wrongful strip-search of a black schoolgirl identified as Child Q, aged 15, in Hackney in December 2020. The incident raised concerns about racial discrimination, the absence of an appropriate adult, and a lack of authorisation from a supervisor.
Child Q, who was falsely accused of possessing drugs, was subjected to a strip-search while on her period, further adding to the distressing circumstances of the incident. Notably, no drugs were found during the search, and the actions of the officers have been met with significant criticism.
