Laughing Boy consultation response
LB is short for Laughing Boy, the name used online for Connor Sparrowhawk. Connor was a fit and healthy young man, who loved buses, London, Eddie Stobart and speaking his mind. Connor had autism and epilepsy. On the 19 March 2013, he was admitted to hospital (Slade House Assessment and Treatment Unit run by Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust).
Laughing Boy drowned in the bath on 4 July 2013. An entirely preventable death.
LB’s Bill is a way for JusticeforLB to try to change the law. Anyone can be part of LB’s Bill. You do not have to be invited.
