Arrest and Detention of Children Subject to Immigration Control

The Children's Commissioner for England yesterday released a follow up report detailing concerns over the treatment of children during arrest and transportation procedures leading to detention and the failure of the UK Border agency to ensure that adequate measures are in place to access the psychological well being of the 1000 children detained each year at Yarls Wood detention centre.
You can add your name to the petition to the UK government calling for the end to detention of children in immigration centres.
