Figures will be primarily based on children who receive case management, the most reliable tool to capture such data.</p><p>The programme is also undertaking multi-country research on the drivers of migration for boys and girls, including the risks they face along the way. This is using both qualitative and quantitative data. Once completed, the research will supplement the learning on how, and how many, adolescent girls are at child protection risks due to migration.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 09/03/2020 18:16:40 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
