Today we talk with our Associate Solicitor Francesca Sella who works in our Scottish Refugee & Migrant Centre about what the centre does, how the team helps and supports asylum seekers and refugees in Scotland, how important the initial stage of age assessment of unaccompanied children seeking sanctuary is and how the [Illegal] Migration Bill will negatively affect people and above all migrant children in our communities.
What can we do to #StopTheBill? At JustRight Scotland, we are running a Scottish campaign in partnership with the Scottish Refugee Council. Read more here: Scotland rejects the Refugee Ban Bill (justrightscotland.org.uk)
We also joined forced with Liberty, NACCOM, Praxis, Rainbow Migration, Rene Cassin and Women for Refugee Women to collect signatures across UK through a joint petition against the new [Illegal] Migration Bill.

Together with the British Red Cross, we have published a short guide on the initial stage of age assessment to assist local authorities in Scotland and improve practice in this area.
