To Gamal Turawa, policing represented a chance to belong. 

Sadly he was subjected to an alarming racial assault within weeks of joining. The racism, discrimination and stereotypes that undermined his confidence and self-worth as a young boy growing up in 1970's Britain, were only compounded by the culture within policing at the time. During his policing career, it was the trauma found at the hands of his colleagues, and not on the streets that took him to a station platform one morning to end his life.

In this episode we will:

• Explore how we often miss our opportunity to find belonging by sacrificing who we are to fit in
• Learn about the importance of acknowledgment as part of anti-racism
• Understand the impact of leading from a place of fear rather than courage
• Hear Gamal's own perspective on what policing organisations can do to better support officers and address the current climate facing policing
