Lib Dem MPs in Surrey are hopeful that this is the beginning of a process of accountability for Surrey County Council as Cllrs Clare Curran and Maureen Attewell step down from their roles in the Cabinet of the Children, Families and Lifelong Learning
Eight months ago, in my maiden speech to Parliament, I said that Fiona Laskaris would succeed in changing the law that prevented her saving her autistic son Christopher from murder. I went to Parliament to honour that commitment.
At the start of April, I spoke with BBC Radio Surrey to highlight the ongoing crisis in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) services.
I wrote to Bridget Phillipson, the Secretary of State for Education, with Surrey Liberal Democrat MP colleagues, to request that she now directly intervenes with necessary measures to prevent the risk of any further harm to children and families in Surrey
I have written with Lib Dem MPs in Surrey to the Department for Education, stating how we have lost confidence in Surrey County Council and it's ability to deliver SEND services. We request the Secretary of State intervenes immediately.
Today Chris was on Heart Radio discussing how the delay of elections means Surrey County Council won't be held to account for their failings
