To do so, we are working closely with safe third countries to explore the return of asylum claimants to them, where evidence supports this assertion.</p><p>Those who need international protection should claim in the first safe country they reach, as that is the fastest route to safety, rather than risk their lives trying to enter other countries unlawfully.</p><p>For those we are unable to deem inadmissible, Section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Treatment of Claimants Act 2004 will be considered when assessing their case.
