Concerns have been raised at City Hall over the London Fire Brigade’s (LFB) attempts to improve its culture, after a 2022 review found that the organisation was “institutionally misogynist and racist”.
The London Assembly on Wednesday warned that the Brigade’s Professional Standards Unit (PSU) - an arms-length body established to uphold high standards within the LFB - lacks sufficient independence and has also been unable to handle complaints “in a timely fashion”.
