<p>The Government strongly supports the principle of family unity, and we have a comprehensive
framework in place for refugees and their families to be safely reunited in the UK
without the need for dangerous journeys.</p><p>Our family reunion policy allows children
to join their refugee parents, and there are also specific provisions in the Immigration
Rules that allow extended family members lawfully resident in the UK to sponsor unaccompanied
children where there are serious and compelling circumstances.</p><p>We have reunited
over 24,000 partners and children with their families under our family reunion policy
in the last five years. Further, those children recognised by UNHCR as refugees can
join close family members in the UK through our Mandate resettlement scheme.</p>
