Eviction Crisis in Richmond Exposes Failings in Housing, Education, and Judicial Systems
London, 1st September – A disturbing case in Richmond has shed light on serious failings in the housing, education, and judicial systems, involving the unlawful eviction of Mother of Three Children who is Richmond Park resident of 21 years and her family from their home by the Richmond Housing Partnership (RHP). Despite legal protections and safeguarding concerns, the Richmond Park resident was forcibly removed from her home at Barnes Avenue Resident on August 16th, 2024, sparking public outrage and calls for accountability from local authorities.
Overview of Events:
The eviction occurred despite Richmond Park resident ongoing disrepair claims and safeguarding concerns for her children, including her son, Claude Akinsanya, whose educational placement was disrupted. Additionally, Richmond Park resident's two daughters were unlawfully removed from her care, triggering serious questions about child protection practices. The eviction has highlighted deeper issues of racial and social injustice, along with systemic neglect of vulnerable families in Richmond.
Statement from Richmond Council Children's Services Spokesperson:
In response to the concerns raised by Richmond Park resident Independent Legal Advisor representative and
Mr. Akinsanya has been in active email communication of numerous correspondences which has made, the complaints Senior Management of department for Children's Services of Richmond Council have issued the following statement:
_"We sincerely apologise for the delay in responding to the concerns raised on behalf of Mother of three. Having liaised with multiple services, we have concluded that we are unable to accept the complaints through our formal complaint procedures. Some of the issues have already been addressed by the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO) and we are unable to reopen those cases."_
_"Regarding Council Tax and rental arrears, these matters were resolved by the South London Legal Partnership in 2019. Similarly, the complaints related to the SEN and EHCPs for Claude have been deemed 'out of time' as his plan formally ceased on February 9, 2022. The responsibility for the EHCPs of Child A aged 16 and Child B aged 13 now lies with Lambeth Council. We appreciate that Mr. Akinsanya may disagree with our decision and he retains the right to approach the LGSCO for further investigation."_
This statement reflects the Council’s position that they will not reconsider the historic issues, despite the serious nature of the complaints raised by the family. The Council’s response further highlights a pattern of unresolved safeguarding issues, with the unlawful removal of Mother of three and her daughters remaining a critical concern.
Exclusive Freedom of Information Summary Statement from NGO
NGO Spokesperson Say's:
It is clear from the following complex racial injustice case involving two vulnerable minors, referred to as Child A and Child B, that there has been outright discrimination and misconduct in public office, contravening British legislation. Richmond Council has egregiously failed in its duty of care by unlawfully transferring these two female minors—both with complex needs and active EHCPs—from the Royal Borough of Richmond upon Thames to under-resourced local authorities, including Newham and Lambeth Councils. These councils, already grappling with high levels of deprivation, are ill-equipped to meet the girls' educational, medical, and dietary needs.
This unlawful transfer has allowed Richmond Council to evade its responsibilities, neglecting years of necessary SEND educational investment for the girls and exposing systemic inequalities within the British care system. Moreover, the blatant disregard for the mother's rights raises serious concerns about the policies and practices of British institutions, particularly in their treatment of citizens and taxpayers.
The mishandling of this case challenges the UK's professed values of fairness and respect, especially concerning the care and protection of vulnerable children in marginalized communities. The girls' forced relocation across the UK has exposed alarming gaps in the safeguarding process and underscored the urgent need for reforms to prevent further injustices.
Key Points:
- Unlawful Eviction by RHP: Despite ongoing disrepair claims and court orders, RHP proceeded with the eviction of Ms. Campbell, ignoring the vulnerabilities of her family.
- Judicial Misconduct: Concerns have been raised about Wandsworth County Court’s handling of the eviction and safeguarding orders, with accusations of judicial misconduct contributing to the unlawful actions.
- Education Failings: The family’s struggles with securing proper educational provisions for Claude have been exacerbated by bureaucratic obstacles and neglect from local authorities, including Achieving for Children.
Impact on Vulnerable Families:
The eviction and subsequent developments have exposed broader failings in safeguarding, housing, and educational services. (Mother of three) family, particularly her son with disabilities, has endured severe emotional and physical distress. Despite Richmond Council’s assurances that procedures were followed, the family has been left without adequate support.
Historical Evidence of Systematic Abuse
The case ties back to 27 Rocks Lane, London SW13 0DB, which was investigated in 2012 by The Independent for allegations of child grooming at Elm Guest House, involving powerful figures. This historical pattern of abuse frames the current racial injustice and systematic failures experienced by Mother of three family and her personal frontline racial and systematic injustice with Richmond Council and Achieving for Children

Letter from Lord Zac Goldsmith
An exclusive letter from the former Conservative MP for Richmond Park, Lord Zac Goldsmith, outlined ongoing challenges. He acknowledged that Richmond Council delayed and mishandled support for Ms. Campbell’s children, particularly failing to provide necessary educational support for Child A.
"Ms X who is the (Mother of three) first approached my offices in relation to Child A in February 2015. Mother of three was in disagreement with Richmond Council as to Child A educational needs and placement. Mother of three felt that Richmond Council were not fulfilling their duty to educate Child A properly by not reviewing the decision to not issue a Statement of Special Educational Needs, opting for instead for Notice in Lieu of Statement which did not provide the support Child A needed."
Lord Zac Goldsmith continues to highlight the following: "After many representations from my office and several delays, Child A was granted an Educational Health Care Plan, and the placement at Holy Cross School approved with Child B joining Child A there."

The charity’s analysis found that 48.4% of grades in independent schools were at A/7 or higher, up from 47.5% last year. In contrast, at academies it rose slightly from 21% to 21.2%, and at comprehensives 19.3% to 19.4%.
This means the gap between independent and comprehensive schools rose from 28.2 percentage points to 29 percentage points. Grammar schools similarly saw bigger rises than non-selective schools.
These figures are based on analysis of data from 340,000 pupils from 1,800 state-funded schools that have submitted data to the Early Results Service. This is well over half the cohort.
