In the London Assembly’s Police and Crime Committee, Caroline raised with the Commissioner and the Deputy Mayor the issue of child and online protections, and concerns about a much bigger rise in child safeguarding cases as lockdown is eased.
Caroline Pidgeon, Liberal Democrat London Assembly Member and member of the London Assembly Oversight Committee, commenting on the ruling by the Independent Office for Police Conduct into allegations that Boris Johnson used his position while Mayor of London to benefit and reward the American businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri, said:
Caroline questioned the Minister for London on:
Caroline talked to ITV News's Simon Harris about the importance of keeping our bus drivers and passengers safe during the coronavirus crisis.
Welcome further measures are being introduced to ensure that our brave and dedicated bus drivers are as safe as possible whilst carrying out their essential roles, but there is still more that can and must be done.
For many people home can be a place of danger, rather than a place of safety. At Mayor's Question Time, Caroline asked the Mayor how we can ensure support for those suffering domestic violence and abuse during this difficult time, where lots of people are having to spend more time at home.
People’s Question Time in Wandsworth was a full house, with ordinary Londoners getting the chance to question the Mayor, and assembly members including Caroline.
On the BBC's Politics London, Caroline Pidgeon highlighted the plight of residents of buildings which still have unsafe flammable cladding, over two years after the tragedy at Grenfell Tower.
