Schools ABC

Against Borders for Children. We won our campaign to stop collection of children’s country of birth/nationality data. Now we want any data collected, scrapped.

Thread 1.
We’ve been alerted this morning to schools asking parents to provide evidence of their children’s nationality by producing passports.

@sarahcrowtherqc @seanwilkenqc This definitely should not be happening. Would you be happy to share details?

[Right to Remain @Right_to_Remain]

It is extremely worrying to see the re-emergence of this harmful, divisive and potentially unlawful behaviour.

If you know of incidents of this happening, please let @Schools_ABC know

@anavocado @nataliesedacca Could you DM us?

[Lara ten Caten @caten_lara]

The Department for Education has been warned in the past over its handling of children’s information – it must reassure parents that children can attend state funded schools regardless of immigration status.

[Lara ten Caten @caten_lara]

Every child should be able to go to school regardless of their immigration status. If your children’s school is asking to see their passports please contact @Schools_ABC and @libertyhq

[Schools ABC @Schools_ABC]

@anavocado @nataliesedacca Is this for state or private school?

The latest examples of passport checking would threaten again to backtrack towards the extension of a #hostileenvironment and border policing into schools and the lives of schoolchildren.
We will and must resist.

Such important advice on how to resist an immigration raid from @no_evictions 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾

Solidarity with all these women. The police is an institution built on violence, they're trained in violence: the brutality we saw at Sarah Everard's vigil is the rule, not the exception. More police powers means more police violence: police are the perpetrators. #KillTheBill

Important thread from @Schools_ABC regarding the extremely concerning requests to provide evidence of children's nationality at schools in light of Brexit.

I can’t quite believe we are having to fight the same fight all over again. But here goes; if you are asked for this data don’t comply- even if you can. Parents with status and passports refusing to supply this data provides some aircover for others who can’t. #nobordersinschools

[Alex Kempton @BeachLinguist]

The Hostile Environment never left our education system, but this blatant example, especially given the hard won fight against it the first time round, is outrageous and anger inducing. #HostileEnvironment #PupilsNotPassports

Comfortable to say this as I am🔒
As part of @Schools_ABC, we are looking into examples of passport checks.
DfE have confirmed that they no longer ask for nationality data from state schools in England and deleted all the data they had.

We could do w/ more help on this!
