Restart 'Dubs' Scheme to welcome and rehome child refugees in the UK.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Home Office has decided to close down two schemes that see child refugees being brought to and resettled in the UK. As a moral nation we call upon the Government to reverse its decision and provide shelter, education and care to those who most need it in partnership with communities in the UK.
