Priti Patel outlined her ambition for a 'fair, humane, compassionate and outward-looking Home Office'
Her comments came in response to Wendy Williams’ critical independent review of the department’s handling of the scandal, in which Ms Patel previously said Ms Williams was ‘just a fraction away from even calling the Home Office institutionally racist’.
‘I’ve tasked my officials to undertake a full evaluation of the compliant environment policy and measures individually to make sure the crucial balance is right. She described how mandatory training is being brought in for staff to make sure everyone in the department ‘understands and appreciates’ the country’s history of migration and race.
The home secretary said the lack of diversity in senior leadership in the department is ‘not acceptable at all’.
