Her Majesty’s Inspectorate has issued a damning assessment warning that pervasive complaints of unacceptable behaviour may only be the «tip of the iceberg»..
The fire inspectorate warned that staff reported claims of bullying, harassment, and discrimination in every fire and rescue service in England, with the culture described as a «old boys’ club».
Among the most egregious instances was when a black firefighter was called the N-word by a superior officer who claimed he was just «having a laugh», inews.co.uk reports.
