<p>The safeguarding strategy for unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children
will be published by 1 May 2017. It will set out further detail on how these children
should be safeguarded and have their welfare promoted. In developing the strategy,
the Government has committed to review the information currently provided to asylum
seeking and refugee children about their rights, their current circumstances, and
the role of local authorities in caring for them. We have also said that we will regularly
review the funding provided to support and care for unaccompanied asylum seeking and
refugee children, working closely with the Local Government Association and local
authorities.</p>
