Team GB sprinter Bianca Williams and her partner were stopped by police on the weekend and have accused the Met Police of racial profiling and acting violently towards them. They fear they were targeted because they are black and drive a Mercedes. There is a stereotype that a few black men driving expensive cars are drug dealers. Using this profile means the police are on the lookout for black men in nice cars and not on the lookout for other types of people in other kinds of cars. Because the police make far fewer routine stops of these kinds of people, fewer of them that are actually drug dealers will be caught! I believe everyone in an expensive car should be stopped regardless of race.

Police say the vehicle had been on the wrong side of the road and the driver sped off for 20 seconds when asked to stop. How did the police know they were black if they had tinted windows? You may ask.

We’re all getting a lot more familiar with our homes as we learn to adjust to our new lives during the Coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, many of us like myself are feeling eager to return to normal, or at least a ‘new normal’ and will be going back to the office. However, you can’t ignore that it can make you feel quite anxious, whether it’s fears of going back to work in the office, commuting to and from work or anxiety around the idea of lockdown lifting is totally normal!

And that’s why it’s important to share how your feelings and concerns during these times of uncertainty with your manager/or your colleagues because chances are, they’re feeling the same. I can personally say 1SC has encouraged a brilliant safe return to the office from making sure staff travel outside of busy periods or the option to work from home and providing PPE in the office.

On entering 1SC office, you must  ensure to:
