'Considerable damage'She Said The Information provided to The Met before Chehab joined The Force was reviewed and he also went through further child and vulnerable Group Supervision vetting before beginning his role as a Safer Schools officer, but " nothing was found that could have indicated his offending".
" This news will of course cause considerable damage and concern not only to The Local community, but Londoners as a whole, who place their trust in police officers to go into our schools alongside their children Every Day and keep them safe, " she continued.
