Support unaccompanied children to enter UK through the Homes for Ukraine scheme

Closed 170 signatures

What the petition asks

The Homes for Ukraine scheme does not currently support children under the age of 18 to enter the UK if they are trying to flee “unaccompanied”. There is a moral obligation to provide sanctuary for such children. There should be a clear simple process to ensure that they are helped.
We are one of many families who would welcome such children with open arms, but are unable as the current system will now allow it.
