Abstract

This review was established by the London Fire
Commissioner in response to the tragic death of firefighter
Jaden Matthew Francois-Esprit, who took his own life in
August 2020. His family were concerned that he had been
bullied because of his race. Yet while Jaden’s death is the
catalyst for the review, it should not be seen in isolation.
Cultural problems have long dogged LFB.
