LETTER: The plight of child refugees
These children are some of the most vulnerable in the country. Arriving alone in Britain, facing a multitude of new difficulties and challenges – a new language and culture as well as the psychological fallout from incredibly traumatic experiences in their home country – many now face the heart-breaking prospect that they may never see their parents or siblings again.
On Friday, March 16, a debate in Parliament could change the rules. But we need MPs to show they take this issue seriously and attend the vote. We are urging Tim Loughton to attend the debate and help bring refugee families back together.
