While the charter has gained traction, Bromley, Harrow, and Hillingdon councils have not yet endorsed it, raising questions about their motivations. The initiative has received mixed responses, with some conservatives opposing the approach. The VRU's efforts, led by Maureen McKenna—a former educator with a track record of reducing exclusions—highlight a broader aim of promoting inclusive education in the capital, where exclusion rates are currently the lowest in England.
