Shaun Bailey AM proposed, and Susan Hall AM seconded the following motion:
“This Assembly is concerned that 22,801 children went missing in London in 2021/22 and is further concerned that information is not being properly recorded about these children. Therefore, we call upon the Mayor and MOPAC to work with the Government to resolve this and to:
- Implement a vision zero strategy for missing children;
- Ensure that data relating to missing children is better recorded, including age, ethnicity, household situation and education status; and
- Explore government funding opportunities to undertake missing children reduction work, such as the recently announced £23 million for early intervention programmes.”
Following debate and upon being put to the vote, the motion in the name of Shaun Bailey AM was agreed unanimously.
