There’s been outrage over the way a 15-year-old black girl, known as Child Q, was strip-searched by police while she was at school.
A report on what happened says the search was unjustified and it’s likely that racism played a part.
We speak to the most senior black female police officer in the UK, Commander Dr Alison Heydari, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ reporter Celestina Olulode who’s been following the story, and Ebinehita Iyere who’s the founder of Milk Honey Bees, which supports young vulnerable girls.
