'Sanctuary Movement, Worker Justice, refuse to co-operate'
Mass. judge refuses to return immigrants
http://www.iii.co.uk/news/?type=afxnews&articleid=6098213&subject=economic&action=article
The British Association of Social Workers (BASW)
Ordinary Motion 3
This AGM deplores the exclusion of unaccompanied children seeking asylum
from the Care Matters Green Paper in England and will oppose the new
proposals announced by the Home Office for a different approach to care
planning and to placements for unaccompanied children compared with
other looked-after children
Motion carried
+
Ordinary Motion 4
This AGM deplores the removal of unaccompanied children from
“looked-after” placements by immigration authorities without notice or
preparation and pledges to support members who, following consultation
with their employer and BASW’s Advice and Representation Service, find
it necessary to refuse to co-operate with unethical practice which
violates the rights of children and young people.
Motion carried unanimously

Beverley Hughes presses ahead with social care practices despite
sector’s scepticism
Children’s minister Beverley Hughes has said the government will pilot
the contracting out of services for looked-after children to GP-style
social care practices despite the idea receiving a mixed reaction from
the sector.

New Sanctuary Movement Begins!

movement in solidarity with the immigrant community.

Immigrants offered sanctuary in U.S. churches
Alarmed by immigration raids on illegal workers, a coalition of U.S.
religious groups is launching a sanctuary movement on Wednesday to
harbour immigrant families who risk being torn apart.
Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim groups are opening
churches and synagogues to shelter families who face deportation.

In My View
All over the world children are being mistreated and their human rights
taken away from them by their governments. But it wouldn't happen here
in the United Kingdom, would it?
Unfortunately, it does. Our Government holds up to 2,000 children a year
in detention centres for immigration control. These innocent children
are hidden away behind locked doors with their families.
