The Government wants to cut child poverty & educational inequality. But at the same time it's baking poverty and trauma for children into its migration policy.
We're proud to join children's charities, social workers & lawyers in saying: every child's rights matter.

Yesterday, the House of Lords debated changes to the asylum system that will make more people destitute.
These changes are part of a wider government plan to further weaponise destitution as a means of immigration control.
