answer text <p>The resettlement of eligible Afghans remains a top priority for this government. As of the end of March 2023, around 24,600 vulnerable people have been brought to the UK. This figure includes British nationals evacuated under Operation Pitting.</p><p>It is vital that those arriving have somewhere suitable to stay once they are in the UK. We continue to process applications but will only facilitate arrivals from third countries under the Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS) and Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) where suitable accommodation can be secured ahead of arrival, including where individuals are able to find their own accommodation.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We take the safety of those in our care seriously. We have robust safeguarding procedures in place to ensure all young people in hotels are safe and supported as we seek urgent placements with a local authority.</p><p>Young people are supported by team leaders and support workers who are on site 24 hours a day. Further care is provided in hotels by teams of social workers and nurses. All contingency sites have security staff on site 24/7 and providers liaise closely with local police to ensure the welfare and safety of vulnerable residents.</p><p>As of 05 June, there were 154 young people missing.</p><p>If any child goes missing, including an accompanied asylum seeking child, the MARS (Missing After Reasonable Steps) protocol is followed. A multi-agency, missing persons meeting is chaired by the local authority to establish the young person's whereabouts and to ensure that they are safe. Similar protocols within police forces have safely reduced the number of missing episodes from placements by 36%.</p><p>The Home Office continue to work with the police and local authorities to ensure the children in our care are safe. The police are responsible for locating any missing children.</p>
