The UK must end indefinite immigration detention

Updated 11 June 2020

Despite the welcome release of many detainees in response to the Covid-19 crisis, the UK's immigration detention system remains unfit for purpose. The UK remains the only country in Europe where detainees can be held indefinitely. This violates basic principles of justice and human rights while avoiding proper transparency and judicial oversight. Anyone with 'irregular status' can be detained – new arrivals, people with no papers or 'wrong passports', and overstayers. Tens of thousands of people are being locked up every year – without any idea of when they might be released.

Quaker Question Time: listening and learning together

Updated 24 September 2020

"Love the questions themselves, as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." -- Rainer Maria Rilke

9 voices the Department for Education would ban from schools

Updated 8 October 2020

Recent Department for Education guidance tells headteachers in England to ensure external organisations, speakers and resources do not take "extremist" stances. These include a stated desire to abolish capitalism and "a failure to condemn illegal activities done in support of their cause". The guidance also bans "victim narratives that are harmful to British society".

Are Sundays more sacred?

Updated 25 July 2019

“Now there were many old people who went into the chapel and looked out at the windows, thinking it a strange thing to see a man preach on a hill, and not in their church, as they called it; whereupon I was moved to open to the people that the steeple-house, and the ground whereon it stood were no more holy than that mountain…" (George Fox, Firbank Fell, 1694)

A testimony of divine grace: Quakers and same-sex marriage

Updated 26 June 2020

Quakers have always diligently written tracts, pamphlets and books, including those about sexuality. Work to produce Towards a Quaker View of Sex began in 1957, and it was published in 1963. It was the first religious text to positively explore same-sex relationships, stating: “It is the nature and quality of a relationship that matters… The same criteria seem to us to apply whether a relationship is heterosexual or homosexual."

Paddington, welcome and transformation

Updated 13 August 2019

As a child I never quite felt that I fitted in or quite understood what was going on. We moved house when I was in the middle of primary school and I never quite got over the feeling of being dislocated and a bit at a loss. To be fair, I still often feel very much the same as an adult. I think it was because of this that I always felt drawn to stories about those people and creatures who might live among us but are somehow different; the Borrowers, the Wombles and, most of all, Paddington.

What next for Ofsted?

Updated 16 June 2023

In the peace education team, we've been following the passionate debate about Ofsted, the school inspections agency in England. Following an incident where a headteacher took her own life after a negative Ofsted inspection, the BBC reported that "the dam has burst on strength of feeling" about the agency. Former schools minister, Jim Knight, has now been asked by the National Education Union to chair the Beyond Ofsted inquiry to develop an alternative approach to inspection.
