London Work

The Mayor of London now has statutory duties in the funding of adult education across the capital. By law, the Mayor must publish a London Plan, setting out the strategic direction for long-term development of integrated economic, environmental, transport and social infrastructure initiatives within the capital. This is now a real opportunity for the Mayor of London to include inclusive adult education opportunities into their vision for a fully inclusive city.

Current campaign work

• Mayoral Elections Manifesto | March 2021: Ahead of the 2021 GLA and Mayoral elections, ALLFIE and Inclusion London jointly launched a Mayoral Manifesto outlining what Disabled Londoners want from the next Mayor and Greater London Authority, including on adult education.

Our previous successes:

• Before the GLA and Mayoral elections in 2016, ALLFIE, Inclusion London and Transport for All jointly launched a manifesto: the Disabled People’s Challenge to the next Mayor of London.
• All London Mayoral election candidates in 2012 and 2016 supported ALLFIE’s inclusive education manifestos.
• The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, pledged his support for ALLFIE’s asks on inclusive education and apprenticeships.
• ALLFIE worked with Transport For All and Inclusion London to produce a Disabled People’s Roadmap for the Greater London Authority.
