Take Action to Protect Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children in Brighton & Hove
We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to publicly acknowledge that they have failed the 136 children who have gone and continue to go missing from a hotel in our city — and commit to using all of their influence and power to produce and implement a viable plan of action to safeguard these children immediately.
Since the Home Office began housing asylum seekers in hotels in Brighton and Hove in July, 2021, over 136 children have gone missing from Home Office run hotels in Brighton and Hove alone.
This ePetition ran from 07/02/2023 to 05/03/2023 and has now finished.
144 people signed this ePetition.
Council response
Will be presented to the 6th March Children, Young People and Skills Committee.
