Landmark Borders Bill now in Parliament

The Nationality and Borders Bill entered Parliament on Tuesday (6 July) setting out the most radical changes to the broken asylum system in decades. It will prioritise those in most need of protection while stopping the abuse of the system.

Helpline for those who have experienced sexual harassment or abuse in education

A new UK wide dedicated helpline has been set up by NSPCC and the Department for Education to support those who may have been subjected to unwanted sexual behaviour or abuse whilst in an education setting.

We would really appreciate your help to promote the helpline and have included social media assets you can share on your channels and with your networks.
