End the use of child spies in the Covert Human Intelligence Sources programme.
The Home Office currently approves the use of vulnerable children under their Covert Human Intelligence Sources (CHIS) programme concerning child sex exploitation, terrorism and gangs. They want to extend CHIS so children can be coerced into these terrible situations for up to 4 months.
Putting vulnerable children in such dangerous situations knowingly and deliberately gives the government no moral superiority over the criminal organisations they seek to stop.
