<p>When a child passes the age of 18 and their Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children
(UASC) leave expires, they are no longer considered to be a UASC and are therefore
required to take steps to return voluntarily or seek further leave to remain. If the
individual does not seek to regularise their stay through further applications or
leave is not granted they may be removed in accordance with the Immigration Rules
and published Home Office policy should they fail to leave voluntarily.</p><p>The
table below provides the number of individuals refused further leave in each of the
last 10 years where they had been previously granted UASC leave.</p><table><tbody><tr><td>Year
