CAO had a very productive meeting with Layla Moran (MP for Oxford West and Abingdon) and members of her casework team in November. We were able to share notes on the cost of living crisis and research and campaigns issues, and how we can work together to help our mutual clients. Taking a shared approach will be useful in complex cases, especially immigration, where we can take advantage of their links with the UK Visas and Immigration department via the MP liaison scheme. Their direct line to ministers will also be useful for raising benefits issues.
In addition, Layla’s team will help us with some campaigning issues, such as our flooring campaign (which addresses the issue of flooring removal for every new social housing tenancy) and selective licensing. They will also help promote our Open Day using their social media channels.
