More than half of child strip-searches by police took place without an adult present, a 'disturbing' new report on the controversial practice has found.
Dame Rachel launched the probe after the controversial strip search of 15-year-old Child Q, who was examined by two female police officers while on her period.
Dame Rachel said it was "utterly unacceptable" that black children were six times more likely to be strip-searched than the general population."This data, combined with that which I received from the Metropolitan Police last year, is the clearest indication yet that what happened to Child Q was far from an isolated incident."A Home Office spokesperson said: "We take the concerns raised about children's safeguarding extremely seriously.
"The Independent Office for Police Conduct is currently investigating several high-profile incidents of strip-search of children and it is vital that we await their findings."
