Officials have agreed not to deport Jamaican people who came to the UK under the age of 12. This is a start, but last time we checked childhood doesn't end at 12.
Keep up the pressure - follow @BARACUK

Hard to believe it's a year since we were able to go to #Calais - but we're glad we're still able to support @Care4Calais. You can too: help their #Coats4Calais campaign here: care4calais.org/coats4calais…

25 million refugees are generously hosted by countries around the world.
These are the countries that have stepped up for those who have lost everything.
Safely returned from Rwanda, with many happy memories and much gratitude to @RWANDAECOTOURS for looking after us so spectacularly.

As everyone settles into half-term, our choir have started their Tour in the beautiful Frauenkirche in Dresden and the @Welly_PCI have departed to Rwanda!
And a special congratulations to our 1st XV on being crowned St Joseph’s Rugby Festival Champions over the weekend! 👏🎵🏉

3 years this month, since the destruction of the "Jungle" but there are still 1000s of refugees living in appalling conditions in the Calais area.
We are trying to give people here the tools to survive, but more needs to be done to address the reason they are here

Our thoughts & prayers go out to the victims of the fatal shooting in Halle, Germany near a Synagogue on #YomKippour. We condemn without reservation all acts of hatred & violence intended to terrorise communities & are reminded of the need to challenge hatred wherever it occurs.

I can second that recommendation, @Welly_Library - I loved it, and I promise to return my copy tomorrow!
Highly recommend this brilliant book to all staff and students going on the Wellington College Peace and Conflict Institute @Welly_PCI trip to Rwanda at half-term.

Today @SrebrenicaUK Memorial Week begins. Over 1000 memorial activities taking place in the UK in schools, town halls, mosques, synagogues & churches. Thankyou Archbishop of Canterbury @JustinWelby @JBrokenshire, @lordnickbourne, our boards & Community Champions for your support
This week we remember the 8372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys killed in #Srebrenica in 1995, and all who mourn them. Those of us who follow Jesus, the Prince of Peace, must reject hatred and discrimination, especially when it's done in the name of Christian faith. #BridgingTheDivide

The remains of 31 victims of the #Srebrenica genocide will be buried at the annual funeral at the Srebrenica–Potočari Memorial Cemetery on 11 July. Our thoughts are with the families of the victims being laid to rest, and of those still being identified.

I am very concerned to see that paramilitary flags have been erected for the first time outside a Catholic Church and Primary school in Larne. This is blatant sectarian intimidation. They should be removed. Police have been informed.

Every time we hear about migrants crossing the English Channel, a Home Office spokesman says: “It is an established principle that those in need of protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach.” But does that make it right? thelondoneconomic.com/opinio…
