Police Scotland urged to train all staff on equality amid 'boys club' culture

Police Scotland is being advised to train all its staff and officers in equality and diversity in the wake of an employment tribunal which found its armed response unit had become an "absolute boys' club".

A report following the tribunal also "strongly" recommends that the structures, recruitment and selection process for the firearms unit are reviewed "to ensure that they are fully compatible with equality legislation, and that any barriers to selection are addressed".

It comes after Rhona Malone successfully pursued a victimisation claim against Police Scotland at a tribunal last year - with the former armed response officer later awarded a settlement of almost £1 million.
