    • Reference: 2018/2243
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
    Does the Mayor agree that Local Authorities have a wider role in preventing schools from failing, not just by supporting those that unfortunately do fail, but in establishing close and trusted relationships with all schools?

    • Reference: 2018/2244
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
    The Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (LeDeR), conducted by the University of Bristol's Norah Fry Centre, has tracked the care and conditions of people with learning disabilities who have died in the last two years, and included pilots in Lambeth, Richmond, Kingston, Camden, Islington and Tower Hamlets.

    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
    Nine recommendations are made by the LeDeR report, for the NHS, social services, and all other organisations involved in the health care of people with disabilities. Will you use your position on the London Health Board and work with London Councils to increase awareness and take-up of these?

  • Lessons from the Learning Disabilities Mortality Review (4)

    • Reference: 2018/2247
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 13 September 2018
    As the LeDeR report sets out, too often people with disabilities do not receive sensitive or joined-up care. Nonetheless, there are many examples of health and social services staff, including admin and auxiliary workers, going the extra mile. Will you consider ways you can champion these cases and make sure more people in London have the knowledge and skill to give excellent care in their own practice?

  • Failing Schools

    • Reference: 2018/1806
    • Question by: Len Duvall OBE
    • Meeting date: 19 July 2018
    Do the findings of the Annual London Education report support the notion that Local Authorities should have a greater role in improving all schools found to be inadequate whether maintained or Academy schools? Will you examine the recent research which showed that Councils are best placed when it comes to boosting the inspection grades of failing schools? Will you give an assurance that you will work with London Councils to inform Government that in order to achieve better results Local Authorities need to be properly resourced and supported in this work?
