Nazir and his team heard the experiences of over 2,000 current and former staff and the public, including members of the Grenfell community. The report contains accounts of shockingly poor behaviour and painful experiences over many years. Despite work by the Brigade to improve equality, diversity and inclusion, the report lays bare failings in the Brigade's processes which means women, black, Asian and minority ethnic people and members of the LGBT+ community have been more likely to experience poor treatment and do less well in their career. The report confirms that the disadvantage and discrimination that affects Brigade staff does not translate into its operations and does not impact on the way the Brigade prevents and responds to incidents. London Fire Commissioner Andy Roe said: "Today is a very sobering day. There is no place for discrimination, harassment and bullying in the Brigade and from today it will be completely clear to all staff what behaviour isn't acceptable and what the consequences will be. "I am deeply sorry for the harm that has been caused. I will be fully accountable for improving our culture and I fully accept all of the 23 recommendations."
