Thank you for your answer to my question 2021/2779. You told me: “Earlier this year the GLA commissioned research which included proposals for the inclusion of people seeking asylum in decision making in London.

I have heard reports that during the recent Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) day of action challenging violence against women and girls, women were being stopped in the street by MPS officers and were asked to encourage any friends at risk of violence to call the police. Was this an appropriate tactic?
