	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <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> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/12/2018 17:23:36 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
