A new 10-point action plan, released on Friday, sets out the steps the force is taking internally and externally to tackle gender-based violence and discrimination.

The Met was found to be "institutionally racist, sexist and homophobic" following a review by Baroness Casey earlier this year.

Her report uncovered wide-ranging evidence of misogyny, harassment and bullying by officers at Charing Cross police station in central London between 2016 and 2018.

The force has also been hit by a series of scandals, including former officer Wayne Couzens using his role to kidnap, rape and murder Sarah Everard in 2021, the force's handling of a vigil held in her memory, and the unmasking of former officer David Carrick as a serial rapist in February 2023.

Since details of Couzens' crimes emerged, the force has increased its focus on 'violence on women and girls'.

The new plan stresses the need for a "whole Met response", including holding its own officers and staff to the same standards as the public.

It will involve a "new programme to transform the Met's culture", including "training all new and current officers to identify and call out sexism and misogyny" - with a review in six months.

The plan also says individual records will be checked so that "repeat patterns are spotted and stopped" when officers move around or to the force.

"Data collected from intelligence and reporting" will be used to identify staff still engaging in sexist behaviour, it adds.

Other measures include investing in the community safety unit, whose primary focus is dealing with domestic abuse.

Met Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Millichap said a comprehensive internal analysis in the new year would lead to "a really clear training design" on sexist and misogynistic guidelines.

"Whereas I think previously the danger has sometimes been that more work is seen as the domain of public protection teams and the investigators, this is taking a much broader, holistic whole system look at it," she told a media briefing.
