If You Don't Know - Child Q: Strip-searched at school

Download Child Q: Strip-searched at school

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, BBC 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.
