question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether any missing unaccompanied asylum-seeking children are in some form of modern slavery.
tabling member printed	Lord Rosser
uin	HL4948
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2023 answer text <p>The Home Office has no power to hold children or adults in contingency hotels if they wish to leave. To minimise the risk of a child going missing, records of minors leaving and returning to the hotel are kept and monitored. Support workers accompany children off site on activities and social excursions, or where specific vulnerabilities are identified.</p><p>All asylum seekers<em>, </em>including under 18s, have an interview on arrival in the UK which includes a series of questions specifically designed to understand whether there are any potential indicators of trafficking. A referral is made to the National Referral Mechanism if indicators are noted. In the case of children, a safety plan is put in place by social services, whilst adults identified as potential victims of modern slavery are entitled to care and support provided by the Salvation Army. The Home Office and its accommodation providers have robust processes in place to ensure that where someone is at risk, they are referred to the appropriate statutory agencies of the police, NHS and social services, to promote appropriate safeguarding interventions. All contingency sites have security staff and providers liaise closely with local police to ensure the welfare and safety of vulnerable residents.</p><p>The safety and wellbeing of asylum seekers in our care is of paramount importance to the Home Office. We expect high standards from all of our providers, and we have a robust governance framework in place to manage service delivery of the Asylum Accommodation Support Contracts (AASC). Details of the AASC can be found at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fnews%2Fnew-asylum-accommodation-contracts-awarded&amp;data=05%7C01%7CJordan.Kelly27%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C935dbaf5b55f41dceb5608da22bd67c4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637860494119143762%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=WluEj72k%2F6SzJiik%2BuvC3nZT6amXX7KspxfefWLcJpk%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">New asylum accommodation contracts awarded - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab)</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth grouped question UIN HL4949 HL4950 question first answered 06/02/2023 17:15:54 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth
