Success (see under #5)
Some of you might remember that I blogged last September about the issue of child detention. Some very good news: the Sanctuary Pledge campaign has helped to secure an agreement with the UK’s new coalition government: “We will end the detention of children for immigration purposes” (see this BBC report for the full text of the agreement) It doesn’t get much clearer than that.
Of course, the proof is in the pudding. But this unequivocal statement opens the government up to accountability on the issue, which is a step in the right direction.
