Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Amendment 324 would protect asylum-seeking families. These are often the most vulnerable, displaced from home stability and services. To add legal obligations, documentation requirements and threats of school attendance orders which may lead to prison to such families while they await status determinations seems disproportionate and inhumane.
