A black schoolgirl was strip searched by police while on her period after being wrongly suspected of carrying cannabis.
The “traumatic” search by Metropolitan Police officers took place at the girl’s school without another adult present and in the knowledge that she was menstruating, a safeguarding report found.
It concluded that the strip search should never have happened, was unjustified and racism “was likely to have been an influencing factor”.
