Like many other organisations, ISWS oppose the proposed Illegal Migration Bill in it’s entirety and, in partnership with Social Work Sorted, have developed this guide for social care practitioners to help them understand the contents of the Bill, and provide an opportunity for reflection about how this will affect the children, young people and families we support.
The Illegal Migration Bill Guide for Social Care Practitioners
This guide is for social Work students, social work educators, trainers, social work apprentices, social workers, senior social workers, managers, service leads, early help, family support, school social workers, personal assistants, safeguarding leads, foster carers, children’s services, adults services, NHS social workers….
Anyone who is employed within social care, anyone who practices under DfE legislation, Working Together 2018, this new Bill will impact your work.
The Home Office are seeking to remove the rights of separated migrant young people that will see them:
In our view, there will never be any justification for the establishment of a two tiered system that is based on a child’s nationality and that is why we reject this Bill in it’s entirety
If you’d like to support our position, rejecting the Bill and requesting a position statement from the Department for Education, please consider signing our petition here.
