The changes restrict the support given to people based on how they arrived here. They create an unfair two-tier system, where someone's case and the support they receive is judged on how they arrived, rather than their need for protection. ⬇
This is an opportunity for us to create a fair, effective and compassionate approach to supporting refugees, who have faced some of the most traumatic experiences on the planet. ⬇
At the heart of this should be creating safe ways for people to find safety here. We should continue our proud tradition of protecting people and we must remember the importance of humanity. #EveryRefugeeMatters
