  • Stop Detaining Children.

    The UK government currently detains more than 2,000 children, including babies, in immigration detention centres every year. That's equivalent to the number of pupils at a large inner-city secondary school.

    These children have not committed any crime but are held behind locked doors and high barbed wire fences. Five years ago it was rare for families and children to be detained for immigration purposes. Now, members of the No Place for a Child coalition have documented detentions lasting anything from 7 to 268 days.

    Detaining these children is wrong - regardless of the merits of a family’s asylum case.

    Why it is wrong

Take action now

There arefour important actions you can do - they will only take you a few minutes:

1. email Charles Clarke, the Home Secretary, to urge him to stop detaining children for immigration purposes.

2. email your MP to urge him or her to take action.

3.Encourage others to join the campaign to end the detention of thesed children.

4. Downlwad a banner from http://www.noplaceforachild.org/index.html for your website and help spread the world
