UK: Drive to call out misogyny in police ranks branded a flop after diversity chiefs got just seven responses

'A drive to encourage police officers to report misogyny in the ranks ‘flopped’ after it led to only seven online submissions.

They were able to upload pictures – for example screengrabs of offensive WhatsApp messages – in a bid to help stamp out sexist attitudes.

It came after former Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone branded Police Scotland institutionally misogynist and racist.

The photo scheme, called Photovoice, was described as an ‘innovative approach which enabled participants to capture and share an insight into their world’.

But the Mail can reveal only seven responses were received – and no disciplinary action was taken in relation to any of them.

Scottish Tory community safety spokesman Sharon Dowey said: ‘Misogyny in all walks of life must be tackled, but this well-intentioned scheme has clearly flopped within Police Scotland.'
