answer text <p>The Short-term Student (English Language) route is provided for the purpose of studying English at an accredited provider. The route is based on the principle a student’s sole intention for making an application is to undertake an English language course at an accredited institution and this intention is considered by caseworkers during the application process.</p><p>Travelling to the UK to act as an Au Pair would not meet this requirement of the route, nor would it serve the policy purpose the route is provided for.</p><p>Short-term Students are not allowed to work in the UK, so permitting employment as an AU Pair under it would not be appropriate.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute are provided with furnished accommodation with utilities provided free of charge and a weekly cash allowance. The level of the allowance is reviewed each year to ensure it remains sufficient to meet their essential living needs (the legal test). Currently, the standard allowance is £39.63 per week for the asylum seeker and each of any dependants in their household. The allowance is reduced if the individual is accommodated in a full-board facility where food and other essential items are provided free.</p><p>There are no plans to provide an additional £20 or to link the level of the allowance with the level of Universal Credit. Those receiving Universal Credit generally incur expenses asylum seekers are not required to meet, including paying for utilities and travel and other expenses incurred in looking for work.</p> more like this
