Image: We're seeing an unprecedented rise in far right and anti-migrant rhetoric directly impacting young migrants, people of colour, refugees and asylum seekers. What we have seen before, mostly in mainstream and social media for years, has now manifested itself as hateful actions and organised movements in our streets and communities. As young people who call the UK home, we do not fear the England flags but are concerned with the negative sentiment and intentions behind them. Negative sentiments, rooted in racism and misinformation, and fuelled by a hostile environment, which has been sustained under the leadership of many successive governments. We do not want to live in fear when walking past our community centres, schools and bus stops. We deserve to feel safe and heard in the communities and neighbourhoods we grew up in, and by the institutions and governments we represent. Because Britain is our home, we are not going anywhere. We are here to stay, because we belong here. Caption: Seeing everything happening around us can be frightening and overwhelming. We want you to know that you belong, and we are here to offer any support you may need. If you could use some assistance, please reach out to us at info@webelong.org.uk, and a member of our team will get in touch with you.

Although this rule change does not directly affect the settlement duration for the young people we support, it does impact their families and communities' ability to secure a fair route to settlement. We invite any young person to get involved by writing to their MP to advocate in Parliament.
New amendments from the Home Office expand the eligibility criteria for settlement under the private life route for young people and children living in the UK.
