A policewoman who was the victim of sexual discrimination at work has accused Sussex Police of not saying sorry.

PC Barbara Lynford, 40, a firearms officer at Gatwick Airport, won her case at a Brighton employment tribunal two years ago and a remedy hearing is now being held to decide how much compensation she will receive.

Miss Lynford, from Lewes, who joined the force in 1993, claimed she was driven to ill-health and hounded from her job by bullying and sexist colleagues.

She has not worked since August 2005 when she was signed off work by her GP as she was suffering from work-related stress.

She told the hearing she had never received an apology from Sussex Police and had not been informed of the outcome of any disciplinary action against her former colleagues.

She said: "To me it just goes to show how little Sussex Police care if they could not give me the outcome or apologise or anything.

"When I was a police officer dealing with a victim, I was not allowed to get away with not up-dating them with the outcome."

She said she had been informed that the police implemented a ten-point action plan at Gatwick following the tribunal decision in 2007 but she did not know the details.

The tribunal has been told Miss Lynford, who is still a serving police officer, now suffers from depression and has developed a phobia about working for the police.

She applied for retirement on the grounds of ill-health but her request was refused. She is currently appealing a decision which required her to resign for non-attendance.

The tribunal will announce its decision on the amount of compensation at a later date.
