The report’s findings indicate that unaccompanied children arriving in Greece and applying for family reunion are waiting an average of 16 months from arrival until transfer, far exceeding the maximum of 11 months provided for in the Dublin Regulation. In some cases, children have been made to wait for over a year and a half.

We secured a major political win. We campaigned to ensure the EU Withdrawal Bill bound the UK Government to negotiate a new deal for child refugees in Europe seeking to reunite with family in the UK after Britain’s departure from the EU.

following lobbying by Safe Passage over 2,000 campaigners, 201 members of the House of Lords voted in favour of Lord Dubs’ amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill, against 181 who voted as ‘Not Content’.
