Sorry for the late reply. Refugee Action has always been against the detention of children and continues to hold that position. We are aware that Barnardo's are providing welfare services in pre-departure accommodation. We are sure they would appreciate it if you sent them your comments. Thanks for your comment Peter.

How can you be sure Barnardo's move to start a children's detention centre will not defend the completely indefensible policy of detaining children at all? Surely the only reasonable approach is to completely condemn the policy. This contrasts with Oxfam's move in recent years to become much more overtly political. If Barnardos want to do something useful they should use their brand name to help condemn the utterly indefensible policy of detaining children. regards Peter Not sure where to post this as the web site doesn’t make it clear how to start a new thread.
