<p>The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) does not solely target unaccompanied
children, but on UNHCR’s advice also extends to vulnerable ‘children at risk’, such
as those threatened with child labour, child marriage and other forms of abuse or
exploitation. It is open to all at risk groups and nationalities within the region.
There is therefore no specific quota on the number of unaccompanied children who may
be referred to, or resettled through, the scheme.</p><p>The latest quarterly Immigration
Statistics show that, as of September 2018, a total of 1,075 people had been resettled
through the VCRS. The statistics are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release</a>.</p><p>The
Home Office is committed to publishing data in an orderly way as part of the regular
quarterly Immigration Statistics, in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics</p>
