The figures for the VCRS will be published in the usual way, and will feature in future releases of the Home Office’s immigration quarterly statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The Dublin Regulation establishes which EU Member State has responsibility for assessing an individual’s asylum claim. Under Article 8 of the Regulation, another EU Member State can raise a Take Charge Request where a child has a family member legally present in the UK and where transfer to the UK is in the child’s best interests. For transfers under Article 8.2 there is the additional requirement that the relative – a grandparent or adult aunt or uncle – is able to take care of the child. We will transfer children where a Take Charge Request is raised and who meet these requirements to the UK for their asylum claim to be assessed here. This is an ongoing commitment and no number is associated with it.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/07/2017 14:17:12 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
