Unaccompanied child asylum seekers housed in hotels are at risk, more than 100 charities warn.
More than 100 charities have written to Rishi Sunak calling for an end to housing child asylum seekers in hotels after about 200 went missing.
The open letter, co-ordinated by children's rights organisation ECPAT UK and the Refugee Council and signed by more than 100 refugee and children's charities including the NSPCC and Barnado's, condemned the government's "failures to protect vulnerable children from harm". He said: "We know from our work that children who have experienced unimaginable horror and upheaval coming to our country in search of safety are highly traumatised and vulnerable.
Labour's Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper accused ministers of a "dereliction of duty" and claimed there was "a criminal network involved" in taking the children away from their accommodation. "Robust safeguarding procedures are in place to ensure all children and minors are safe and supported as we seek urgent placements with a local authority.
