Stop "hostile environment" policy that separates migrant children from parents.
While Mrs. May was the home secretary, she introduced the "hostile environment" policy that has resulted in separation of children, some as young as 2 years old, from their parents. The practice, which continues today, has traumatic effects on young children and it is contrary to our British values.
Ask the government to stop this practice and to safeguard children's welfare in any future policies.
These cases are usually settled outside court with confidentiality clauses that stop parents from speaking out. See https://www.libertyhumanrights.org.uk/sites/default/files/HE%20web.pdf

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
The current Home Secretary, Sajid Javid, has said that he is reviewing the "hostile environment" policy.
We think you'd like some specific changes to the immigration rules for children, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
