Rear Brake Squeal When Reversing

I am new here, so apologies if I have missed a known issue, but I have a horrendous squeal when braking during reversing. No noise that I am aware of when driving forwards, just when braking in reverse whilst parking.

I did try searching, but haven’t really found much on it. Any tips on what to look at to resolve this? Any way to clean debris without stripping off the wheels and Caliper?
 
The pads need changing. I had the same. Swopped out and all good. There is slight scoring on the disc so could be a small piece of grit.
 
Its not uncommon, have had it a few times myself
New pads cure it, think it a combination of pad wear and corrosion
 
Many years ago I had a bad squeal when using brakes.
Left it for a bit until the tyre needed changing (a week or two).
When they changed the tyre they found a feather between the pad and the disc that was causing the squeal. Not sure what happened to the rest of the bird RIP.
 
Pads look like there’s life left in them but I guess it’s not big money to replace them and perhaps the discs too. I think the front has been done not long ago by garage when previous owner bought it last year.
 
Ended up replacing pads and discs. My brother did the work while I did the cleaning, fair play to him. £111 for Brembo wasn’t bad at all tbh.

Ironically it was the passenger side with no wear sensor that was worn the most, yet driver side was making the noise.

There was a groove in driver side disc though, so something has got jammed at some point. Pad had worn into that groove shape when looking closely, so I think the noise was the pad not fitting cleanly in the groove when warmed up.

All perfect now though!
