Statutory Instruments allowing for the use of scientific methods to assess age: we signed a joint parliamentary briefing addressed to MPs and Peers

Alongside the Refugee Council and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, we signed a joint parliamentary briefing outlining our concerns with the UK Government’s intention to authorise the use of biological methods, including X-ray and MRI scanning, in assessing the age of children seeking asylum.

This briefing is supported by the Refugee and Migrant Children Consortium (RMCC), a coalition of over 80 organisations working together to promote and protect the rights of young refugees and migrants.
