What the petition asks
After committing to offer homes and families to 3,000 of the most vulnerable children on earth, the Government has now quietly backtracked and said they will only take 350. It has been decided that when the rubber hits the road we abandon the most vulnerable, and we need to say 'not on my watch'.
