Issy Vine was a staff officer with the Metropolitan Police in South London.

A series of incidents with a male colleague in her call handling team back in 2023 has sent her on a two year journey to try and find justice. Issy has not only been fighting for justice, but fighting for media attention for her story.

She has since founded community organisation Speak Up Now, which supports whistleblowers in public and emergency services. 

Issy's story is one about standing up against misogyny, and against long enforced power structures. To find out more, follow her here.

The Met Police said: "The concerns Isabelle raised about the meeting with the Director have been assessed and found not to amount to misconduct. The conduct of the Appeal panel has also been assessed and found not to amount to misconduct".
