Refugee Families in the UK Need a Safe Way to Reunite with Lost Children
Lord Dubs' amendment to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill aims to address the painful decisions faced by parents separated from their children during migration.
This week, Parliament will consider a proposed change to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill. The amendment seeks to reopen the opportunity for a small number of lost children to reunite with their families, after the government suspended the Refugee Family Reunion scheme in September.
Under this change, parents who have passed all necessary assessments and have been recognized as genuine refugees in the UK would be able to apply to bring in children lost during their journey.
