Hi John,  

For child refugees in the UK, safety can come at a heavy price. Many have been forced to leave behind not only their homes, but also their families, as children fleeing conflict can often get separated from their parents and siblings.

As a refugee in the UK, adults can sponsor immediate family members to join them, but children can not. Our new report ‘Without my family’ highlights that the UK is the only EU country  that imposes such severe restrictions on family unification for child refugees. This can have a devastating impact on children who have already experienced so much. 

Home Office rules separating child refugees from their parents aren’t just restrictive - they’re deeply unfair. But the Home Secretary has the opportunity to change this. Will you join thousands of others in asking her to do the right thing?
