answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2018 answer text <p>The Dublin Regulation establishes a clear mechanism for unaccompanied children who have claimed asylum in another EU Member State to be transferred here to have their asylum claim assessed if they have a qualifying family member legally present in the UK, and where transfer is in the child’s best interests.</p><p>Unaccompanied children who are relocated to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 are placed in the care of a local authority. Any child relocated under section 67 occupying a space offered by a local authority will count towards the specified number of 480. Local authorities will review a child’s care needs on an ongoing basis. If a child has relatives in the UK, the local authority may subsequently decide that placement with that family is in the child’s best interests. However, this is a decision for local authorities, not the Home Office.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 07/08/2018 15:22:13 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
