Have Your Say on the Met Police
Share your views on police culture, standards,
and change - before 30 April
The Fairfield Review is an independent assessment of the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), examining progress since the Casey Review into standards, behaviour, and internal culture.
As part of this, a public survey is open, inviting views on how the Met is responding and whether meaningful change is being felt in practice.
Open until 30 April 2026, this is a time-limited opportunity to feed directly into how policing in London is understood, challenged, and reshaped.
What is this review?
The Fairfield Independent Review is looking at whether the Met has meaningfully responded to the serious issues raised in the Casey Review - including:
Institutional racism
Misogyny
Homophobia
Failures in leadership, culture, and standards
It’s not just about what’s been promised - but what’s actually changed.
The review is assessing:
How quickly and seriously reforms have been prioritised
Whether changes are having a real impact
What still needs to happen to achieve lasting cultural change

Why this matters
For many - particularly those who have experienced harm, discrimination, or dismissal within policing - trust isn’t theoretical. It’s shaped by lived experience. This survey is one of the few opportunities to feed that reality into a formal, independent process.
You don’t need to have read the Casey Review. You don’t need to be an expert. If you’ve lived in London in the past three years, your perspective counts.
What you’ll be asked
The survey focuses on your perceptions and experiences of policing in London, including:
Awareness of recent changes within the Met
Personal experiences of policing or crime
Observations of police behaviour and conduct
Views on culture, standards, and accountability
It does not ask about specific cases or investigations - the focus is on culture and systemic change.
What to expect
Takes around 10–20 minutes
Open to anyone who lives (or has lived) in London in the last 3 years
Fully anonymous - responses are not shared with the Met or Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime
You can skip questions or stop at any time
The survey closes on 30 April 2026.
A note on safety
The survey addresses sensitive topics, including experiences with crime and policing.
Support signposting is included at the end - but it’s important to engage at your own pace, only if it feels manageable.
M.Y.H reflection
Reviews like this only matter if they reflect reality - not just policy. For too many, interactions with policing are shaped by:
disbelief
minimisation
or harm
If systems are serious about change, they have to be willing to listen - not just internally, but to the people most affected by their failures. This is one route to do that.
Take part
Add your voice. Share what you’ve seen, experienced, or questioned. Because culture change doesn’t happen in isolation - it happens when reality is named, recorded, and taken seriously.
