Petition An Independent Commission into the Home Office and the "hostile environment"

The Windrush Scandal and Amber Rudd’s resignation have shown the chaotic and cruel way the Home Office operates.

This crisis was caused by Theresa May’s “hostile environment” policy. The policy ruins lives, puts people at risk of destitution and removal, and increases the risk of modern slavery.

More details

It asks landlords and doctors to act as border guards and there is no evidence that the policy works.

Migrants and those who look or sound 'foreign' are at most risk.

We can no longer trust that the Home Office can function effectively and fairly.

We need an Independent Commission to look into the behaviour of the Home Office and its “hostile environment”. It is the only way to ensure that all those caught up in Theresa May’s “hostile environment” are protected.
