answer text <p>The Government’s clear strategy has always been that we do not want to encourage people traffickers and incentivise perilous journeys to Europe, particularly by the most vulnerable children.</p><p> </p><p>Our policy is to support families to stay together and we have granted over 24,000 family reunion visas over the last five years.
