You have said, “my team continues to talk to government officials about how best to respond to this situation [the end of the eviction ban].

Violence Prevention Programmes Data Sharing with MOPAC Question No: 2021/2212 Caroline Pidgeon Are all the various violence prevention programmes funded and supported by MOPAC and/or the Met in custody suites, A&Es and communities across London providing data and information on details such as the location of crimes and weapons used by the GLA Safe Stats team? Supporting Tech Start-ups with Safeguarding Question No: 2021/2213 Caroline Pidgeon London has a proud reputation for our tech start-ups. However, with increasing reports of online child sexual abuse how are you, through MOPAC and as Chair of the LEAP, working with the tech sector and particularly London’s tech start-ups to promote the importance of safeguarding measures for children and protections against the sharing of child sexual abuse content? VAWG and Online Safety (1) Question No: 2021/2214 Caroline Pidgeon The Internet Watch Foundation’s 2020 Annual Report showed a 77% increase in reports of self-generated sexualised material online with analysis showing that in 80% of these cases the victims were 11-13 year-old girls. Of course, this data is not specific to London but it does show a concerning pattern of girls being groomed online. Given the increasingly gendered nature of this issue, what more are you doing through your VAWG programmes to protect and safeguard young girls online? VAWG and Online Safety (2) Question No: 2021/2215 Caroline Pidgeon What work is MOPAC undertaking to review its commissioned support services to ensure they are equipped to meet the needs of victims of online offences, particularly children, given the increasing prevalence and concern over online child sexual abuse offences since the beginning of the COVID pandemic? Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) Question No: 2021/2216 Caroline Pidgeon Will MOPAC be formally consulting ICVs on whether or not they wish to maintain the option of virtual visits once COVID-19 restrictions are eased, or whether they wish to move back to exclusively conducted in-person visits?

Rise in Anti-Semitic Incidents Question No: 2021/2218 Caroline Pidgeon In recent weeks we have seen numerous concerning reports of deeply disturbing anti- Semitic incidents in the capital. How will you be increasing your efforts to tackle hate-crime in the capital and ensure communities, such as London’s Jewish community, feel safe? Collecting Data on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Victims of Hate Crime Question No: 2021/2219 Caroline Pidgeon Will you look to ensure MOPAC collects data on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller hate crimes that take place in London and also ensure that this information is included on the MOPAC Hate crime dashboard?

    A Co-Operative Vision for South London's

    Party Support Mailing April 2012 NATIONAL NEWS Please find below the latest news from Parliament, our national campaigns, the Co-operative Councils Network and more. Please circulate to your members or include this in your local newsletters. You can find all the latest news and opinions from the Co-operative Party at www.party.coop. A Co-operative vision for South London’s libraries Labour & Co-operative councillor Timothy Godfrey, Secretary of the London Co-operative Party, contrasts the possibilities for library services offered by co-operative solutions and the cuts and closures threatened by Croydon’s Conservatives In Croydon, local Labour & Co-operative Councillors have proposed to the ruling Conservative Council that instead of privatising the library service to a large scale private provider or another local authority under contract, the Council exploits an example of efficiency and popularity on its doorstep. The Upper Norwood Joint Library, is an independent library authority funded and run by two South London Councils, Croydon Council and Lambeth Council. Croydon Council spends £8million running one central library and 12 branch libraries. If you allow a generous £1.2million to run the central library, and its £200,000 contribution to the Upper Norwood Library (Lambeth and Croydon both contribute half the budget), that leaves a cost per branch library in Croydon at a staggering £550,000 per year. That might be acceptable, if the branch libraries in Croydon were well staffed, open long hours and in large buildings. They are not. They are small, often only open 4 days a week. To add insult to injury, the Conservative run council cut half of all qualified librarians last year in a ‘cost cutting’ drive.

    Making the most of Social Media to promote #CleanAirforChildren 1. Tips for using Twitter and Facebook at the Clean Air for Children London Question Time event ● Use our ‘How to find your elected representatives in England’ guide to identify your local representatives. Make a list of who you want to tweet at and share Facebook posts or messages with and search for them a few days before the event, these might include: ✓ Your MP ✓ Mayor of London - @MayorofLondon ✓ Your ward councillors ✓ Your Council Leader ✓ Your London Assembly Member ✓ Chairs/Deputy Chairs of the London Assembly’s Transport and Environment Committees ▪ Environment ▪ Chair: Caroline Russell - @CarolineRussell ▪ Deputy Chair: Leonie Cooper - @LeonieC ▪ Transport ▪ Chair: Caroline Pidgeon - @CarolinePidgeon ▪ Deputy Chair: Florence Eshalomi - @FloEshalomi ✓ Your borough council (search under the name of your borough and twitter, e.g., LB Camden Twitter, LB Hounslow Twitter) ● Keep your tone positive and respectful even if you are being challenging or critical. ● Use the hashtags #cleanairforchildren and #Llondon ● If you have enough characters remaining in your tweets, it might be good to add in #cleanair or #airpollution into your tweets so they are picked up and retweeted by a larger audience. ● Tag or retweet to the @ClientEarth and @lunguk Twitter accounts. ● If you are directing your tweet at somebody in particular, make sure that others can also see it by putting a full-stop before their Twitter account name to start the message, e.g.: “.@[yourMP] will you... “. ● If posting on Facebook, focusing on your ‘personal pollution story’ could win more likes and shares – write about how dirty air in your area affects you, your children and your community and why this has led you to call for action.

The group started a year ago and was designed to be a safe space for young people and a chance to chat to local Police and share concerns and ideas. The Police were working with schools. This was happening more now compared to the past but there was always room for improvement. There were 11 young women at the meeting and all felt that they didn’t mind the idea of stop and search and it could make people feel safer but it was important it was done “fairly and politely”. The young people reported that it could be a humiliating interaction and there should be more emphasis on respect and politeness.

One of my proudest achievements here has been the LGBT+ Conservatives Candidates’ Fund, which has supported so many people into parliament and raised tens of thousands of pounds. As the fund matures it is moving into a new governance structure, and I hope to play a role in that future. I am thrilled to be succeeded by Elena Bunbury. I know that she will bring new energy to the organisation, and I hope it will continue to thrive under her leadership. I am so grateful to everyone who has supported me on this journey.

    Waste: Energy from Waste

    Holding the Mayor to account and investigating issues that matter to Londoners Environment Committee Waste: Energy from Waste February 2018 EMBARGOED UNTIL THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2018, 06.00AM Key findings • Despite efforts to cut waste and increase recycling, more than half of London’s waste ends up being incinerated. The amount of waste sent for incineration (known as “Energy from Waste”) has more than doubled in the last decade, reaching nearly two million tonnes in 2017. • Burning waste takes materials out of the circular economy, releases carbon into the atmosphere and may have negative health effects. • But it also generates electricity, can provide heat for local homes and businesses, and reduces the amount of waste sent to landfill. • Energy from waste technology (EfW) is here to stay, at least in the medium term. • But while London has the EfW capacity to meet demand, it currently exports approximately over half a million tonnes of waste for incineration a year. • London needs to become self-sufficient in managing the waste it generates, reducing waste sent to EfW as population grows. • The Mayor intends to regulate London’s energy from waste sector by This report completes the London Assembly Environment Committee’s limiting its carbon emissions and maximising the energy benefits it can investigation into waste management. Previous reports in 2017 generate. considered the circular economy and household recycling and all three • London must begin to limit not only the amount but also the type of topics will be launched as a final report in spring 2018, with waste it sends to EfW.
