What the petition asks
It has recently been announced that the country will stop allowing unaccompanied children refugees into the country, this means that children are at risk of being trafficked and abused and it is unfair to leave vulnerable children behind
In a written ministerial statement, the Home Office said it would stop receiving children via the so-called Dubs amendment at the end of March.
