Murals featuring popular cartoon characters, including Mickey Mouse, which was designed to create a welcoming environment for child asylum seekers at a reception centre in Dover, have been ordered to be removed by the immigration minister, Robert Jenrick. According to reports, Jenrick believed that the murals sent too welcoming a message.

The Kent Intake Unit (KIU), established by the Home Office last November to care for unaccompanied child migrants, featured a range of facilities aimed at providing a supportive environment. These included softer interview rooms, an outdoor space, prayer rooms, a larger reception area, and improved security measures to ensure the safety of the children.
