💨 Abstract

A 15-year-old girl, known as Child Q, was strip-searched at her London school in 2020 after a false suspicion of carrying cannabis. She was on her period and felt demeaned. The tribunal found that two officers, Kristina Linge and Rafal Szmydynski, engaged in gross misconduct. They were sacked, while a third officer, Victoria Wray, received a final warning.Child
