I want every young person to have access to support, guidance and a positive role model. This is why by 2024, every young Londoner in need will have access to a personal mentor.
It’s part of our plan to make London safer, fairer and more prosperous for everyone.

💡Last year, more than two thirds of children in England and Wales who had been cautioned or sentenced for a serious violence offence had special educational needs.
✅ That's why we're investing £4m to close the gaps in learning for children with speech and language needs.
