As a coalition of 290 organisations we condemn the passage of the Illegal Migration Act, and stand in solidarity with all who will be affected.

The Home Office agreed to withdraw, review and revise its new policy that required a potential victim of trafficking to provide ‘objective’ evidence for their trafficking experiences in order to receive a first stage decision under the National Referral Mechanism (NRM).

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. It seeks to destroy long held principles of fairness in our justice system – that of access to the courts and equality before the law. The Helen Bamber Foundation and Asylum Aid will resist the passing and implementation of this Bill with all the means at our disposal.

Recent media coverage have revealed that dozens of children placed in Home Office-run hotels have gone missing, at risk of exploitation and trafficking. With other NGOs, HBF has been raising concerns about the use of hotels and the impact it has on the safety and welfare of vulnerable children for over 18 months. This blog examines the Home Office use of hotels and how it denies unaccompanied children the care and protection to which they are entitled.
