<p>Our age assessment policies for immigration purposes seek to protect genuine children
and identify those who are adults.</p><p>The UK-Rwanda Treaty makes clear at Article
3 that the agreement reached between the governments of Rwanda and the UK does not
cover unaccompanied children and that the UK Government shall not seek to relocate
unaccompanied children under the age of 18. It is therefore only those individuals
who are confirmed to be, or have been assessed to be, adults who will be removed to
Rwanda.</p><p><br> We have already strengthened the age assessment process through
measures introduced in the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.</p>
