We welcome the news that 14 unaccompanied children will be reunited with their families in the UK from Calais today by the government, with many more expected to arrive in the coming days ahead of the demolition of the camp.

“We welcome the government’s announcement that they are willing to take in some of the unaccompanied children from the camp in Calais. However, they need to do it much faster. Much faster.”

Our team in Calais have warned that not all the unaccompanied children from the Calais camp have been registered, despite the authorities announcing yesterday that the camp is now empty
