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.

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

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. bylinetimes.com/2021/05/20/c…

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

EXCLUSIVE: 129 women come forward with claims of being raped, beaten or coerced by their police officer spouses & partners. Over 100 women who feel the system has failed them, claiming a “boys club” culture of coverups where survivors felt silenced. More @Channel4News at 7pm

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

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

RT🔒 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!

Please share/RT We heard today that some parents are being asked to prove eligibility for school places by showing passports. If this letter or similar has been sent to you, please contact us or reply here #HostileEnvironment #NoBordersInSchools

It seems that the @educationgovuk is changing policy on the quiet. Every child should be entitled to education. Has anybody else been asked to prove their child’s nationality? This is very concerning @libertyhq @Schools_ABC @defenddigitalme

School(s) asking children to bring in their passports so their nationalities and immigration status can be checked. Awful, divisive and Xenophobic. I wish I could confidently say it's unlawful too. But one can never know in immigration status-obsessed Tory Britain.

4. There is no justification for schools to demand evidence of pupils nationality now. As far as we are aware this is unlawful.

Govt dropped attempts to get school pupil immigration status in June 2018, after @Schools_ABC campaign schoolsabc.net/ Schools pretending they have a right to this info looks illegal, incl in breach of GDPR.
