Louise Casey


Listen Later

Baroness Louise Casey has this week delivered an excoriating review into the standards of behaviour and internal culture of the Metropolitan Police. It’s just the latest of a series of tough reports issued by Casey during a career tackling deep-rooted social issues, including homelessness and anti-social behaviour.

Casey is now a cross-bench peer and go-to troubleshooter for governments of all stripes, but her route to the top of public life has been unconventional.

Profile speaks to close friends and colleagues of a civil servant known for her fearlessness and no-nonsense style.

Presenter: Mark Coles

Production team: Sally Abrahams and Nathan Gower
Editor: Simon Watts
Sound Engineer: Graham Puddifoot
