Comment: Illegal Migration Bill
Steve Crocker, ADCS President, said:
“In an ideal world children would not need to risk their lives taking dangerous journeys across continents in search of safety, but they do. They make desperate decisions to leave everything they know and love behind and travel alone because their lives are genuinely in danger, and they deserve our compassion, kindness and support. All new legislation should be child-focused and protect children’s rights. We await further information from government on the Illegal Migration Bill and the impact it may have on vulnerable children, young people and their families fleeing extremely desperate situations.”
