Drew on findings from research to identify cultural meanings of respect and how these meanings manifest in behaviours. This was in addition to findings from narratives based on the personal experiences of unconscious bias and police stop-and-searches. These findings were presented in the `Diversity Awareness Culturally Inclusive Toolkit for Policing` written, in addition to the `Document of Policing Information`. Findings from the narratives provided were also used to create a two-part cultural awareness video re-enacting the real-life unconscious bias scenarios and the stop-and-search scenarios. This diversity project work has now been incorporated in the MPS London Curriculum EDI training initiative for all Officers in excess of 15,000.
