This has been such a special project for me. I grew up in Wednesbury, just down the road from Walsall, until I was 10. To be able to collaborate with Black Country based communities, artists, charities and arts organisations on this element of @HauntingIssues has been a privilege
So good to be back at @newartgallery today for our final session on the ‘Put Me In The Picture’ visual art project. The work will be exhibited on Tuesday in our sharing session between 3-5pm so do come along and join us! #hauntingissues

A significant win for campaigners including @ECPATUK, as High Court rules Home Office are acting unlawfully in housing unaccompanied child asylum seekers in hotels. The Government must ensure this practice ends and is not entrenched through the Illegal Migration Act.

The #IllegalMigrationBill is back @UKCommons today to consider @UKHouseofLords amends incl. limiting the detention of children & inadmissibility of asylum claims, some protection for victims of #trafficking and respect for #humanrights
Full letter ▶️bit.ly/YAGLetter

Protections for children in the Illegal Migration Bill rejected by @GOVUK, they not only ordered these cartoons removed but also want to:
➡️ Detain children
➡️ Deem their asylum claims inadmissible
➡️ Have powers to accommodate
➡️ Deny protection to victims of modern slavery
Asked by @AlfDubs about disgraceful actions of @ukhomeoffice to remove cartoons from Kent reception as they are 'too welcoming for children', Minister says:
'It is the correct decision these facilities have the requisite decoration befitting their purpose'
📢Shameful cruelty
