Local Priorities Violence against women and girls Message

I wanted to provide an update regarding Violence against women and girls, which members around this area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the Met Engage priority survey.

Sexual harassment is any unwelcome behaviour of a sexual nature that creates a intimidating , hostile, or offensive environment. This includes inappropriate comments, unwanted physical contact, suggestive gestures, or request for sexual favours. Such conduct is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.

Our goal is to maintain safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for everyone. If you are unsure whether a behaviour constitutes harassment , seek guidance and do not hesitate to speak up.

 We are working on our brand-new strategy for how we police London and we want your help. Our New Met for London: Phase 2 strategy will guide how we deliver on behalf of Londoners over the next three years, and we want to make sure you have had the chance to have your say. The consultation paper is available online, as well as a survey to let us know what you think. This closes on the 15 September.
