The Illegal Migration Bill: Second Reading Briefing

Warwick, B; Fussey, E; Rowland, AG

Abstract

Ahead of Second Reading of the Illegal Migration Bill, this briefing from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) outlines our deep concerns with measures in the bill regarding unaccompanied children. This includes the measures set out in Clause 3 and Clauses 15 – 20. The RCPCH wants to emphasise that the rights of children and young people, as set out in the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) which has been ratified by the UK, must be protected.
