NCB Now: Member news - Children's Society Outcry! Campaign

Every year an estimated 2,000 children in the UK are locked up in immigration detention.

The Children's Society and Bail for Immigration Detainees are campaigning to end the immigration detention of children and their families. Funded by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund, we are campaigning together under the banner OutCry!

We believe that detention damages children, that it is unnecessary and that it is a waste of taxpayers' money. During the campaign we will be working with other organisations and individuals who share our view. We are undertaking research and pressing the government to change its policy so that children are no longer locked up in detention centres.

Please add your voice to the campaign. We will keep you updated with campaign news and the latest research. Sign up by visiting www.outcrycampaign.org.uk.
