The article focuses on the most significant changes Brexit brings with itself that affect children and young people. The UK officially left the EU on January 31, and with that an 11-month transition period started.
Some of the raised issues:
- The Brexit bill excludes The Charter of Fundamental Rights which has been used in practising EU legislation, policy and law. Areas include e.g. cross-border family law, tackling child obesity and high youth employment rates.
- Children may become homeless and undocumented because they lack the documents to prove they can remain in the UK as citizens.
- An amendment to the Brexit bill to ensure unaccompanied child refugees would have the right to be reunited with their families in the UK was rejected.
- As 22% of childcare workers are EU nationals, losing them due to Brexit would mean a lack of childcare places for families.
- EU-born children on custody will have troubles applying for settled or pre-settled status in the UK.
- The future of Erasmus+ or a possible replacement is yet unsure.
