This should be changed asap.

If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class.

Our new report "Hope & Harm", highlights the dangers faced by migrant & refugee children on their way to Europe➡️ https://t.co/zVgtj8fwXX

56% of kids surveyed felt in danger while seeking safety - they faced violence & discrimination at borders⚠️

This is a scandal that must end

"Hundreds of child refugees have encountered abuse and exploitation... The report found that children wrongly classified as adults were at risk of suicidal ideation and absconding."

🚨BREAKING: Over 18-months, the Home Office wrongly assessed 1,300 children seeking asylum in the UK to be adults. Our new report with @refugeecouncil and @humansforrights reveals the extensive harm caused to child refugees by these flawed decisions. 🧵1/3 https://t.co/Yv0oTicrM3

Excellent to see this important work out from our SIG Co-chair @Shah_257 !

Some v important implications especially for NHS Talking Therapies services where British-Bangladeshi men often have lowest recovery rates. Please share widely!

[Rachel Hiller @Rachel_Hiller1]

Great to join @Steph_J_Lewis @RMeiserStedman @KatieLofthouse5 at #ISTSS2023 to discuss scaleable options for supporting trauma-exposed CYP. Only 1-3% of UK youth with PTSD get access to evidenced-based treatments(!). Scalability is key but quality and evidence essential.

Changes in cognitive processes and coping strategies precede changes in symptoms during cognitive therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder
