A new briefing from HBF, Asylum Aid and Humans for Rights Network reveals that the Home Office is incorrectly treating hundreds of children seeking asylum as adults, based on a short visual assessment on arrival in the UK, and placing them alone and at significant risk in unsupervised accommodation and in immigration detention.

This Government, through the ‘Illegal' Migration Bill, seeks to strip those fleeing war, persecution and human rights abuses of their right to seek safety in this country.

The Helen Bamber Foundation and Asylum Aid will resist the passing and implementation of this Bill with all the means at our disposal.
