🚨 Children who come to the UK alone in hope of finding protection need specialist support. But our new report w/ the Refugee & Migrant Children's Consortium shows that hundreds continue to be wrongly treated as adults & placed at risk in adult accommodation or criminalised 1/3🧵

It's appalling that the Home Office has spent such an eye-watering amount of tax-payers' money defending their decision to keep Wethersfield open, especially given the overwhelming evidence of the harm it causes. People seeking asylum must be housed in communities, not camps.

Access to justice is a human right and legal aid is a crucial part of the justice system. But people seeking asylum often struggle to get good quality legal advice. At least 57% of those claiming asylum or appealing a refusal are unable to find a legal aid representative.🧵1/3

This is a huge relief for thousands who were left in limbo due to the previous govt's disastrous Rwanda plan. The failure of the Rwanda scheme stands as a clear example of why the UK must not farm its human rights obligations out to third countries, ever. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a…

In just over 18 months, the Home Office received a staggering 16,000 safeguarding referrals regarding survivors of trafficking and torture. We've long warned of the risks people face in harmful asylum accommodation, including self-harm & suicide 🧵 (1/3): theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

The previous govt had changed Immigration Rules making family reunion for stateless people much harder. We challenged that in the High Court & won. The court found the changes to be unlawful. Here's what it means for stateless people & their families 👇 freemovement.org.uk/asylum-aid-win…
