What the petition asks
To safeguard our children, teachers and other school workers (indeed everyone), we are calling for rigorous testing of all refugees claiming to be children.
Dental checks must be carried out to ascertain age and police checks must be carried out for criminal convictions.
Dental checks must be carried out to ascertain age and police checks must be carried out for criminal convictions.
There have been cases were some refugees claiming to be children have been proved to be adults. This has had alarming consequences from commission of serious assaults to fraud where the refugee has claimed free education from the UK tax payer.
All UK citizens have a HUMAN RIGHT to be protected by our government and this type of testing will go some way to aiding this.
There is obviously some urgency in the government responding to this and implementing rigorous checks before a tragedy happens.
