Standing in Solidarity

MoH has signed this letter put together by our friends at the Public Interest Law Centre, Liberty, Migrant Rights Network & others. It calls on on London local authorities to protect the rights of migrant rough sleepers.

As part of our wider work, we have been researching the devastating impact of the hostile environment and we hope local authorities will sign up and put these pledges into action.

This work follows on from our July summer statement asking local authorities not to share the personal information of migrants sleeping out with the Home Office.
