Rejected petition Protect children, families and genuine asylum seekers in new UK asylum reforms

Ensure new asylum reforms protect children, families and genuine asylum seekers by reducing delays, creating fairer settlement routes and allowing earlier legal work, while targeting criminal smuggling gangs—not vulnerable people—so the system stays fair, humane, safe and workable.

More details

The UK’s asylum reforms must stay fair, humane and true to British values of protecting the vulnerable. Families and children escaping danger face years of uncertainty through long waits and 10–20 year settlement routes. A better system needs faster decisions, early legal work rights, clear separation of genuine from non-genuine claims, and enforcement focused on criminal smuggling gangs—not vulnerable people simply seeking safety and stability.Every child deserves safety and hope.
