answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2017 answer text <p>In July 2016 the Government launched the National Transfer Scheme for unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) in order to ensure a more equitable distribution of UASC across the country and to prevent a small number of local authorities caring for a disproportionate number of UASC. In July 2016 we also significantly increased the funding we provide to local authorities who care for UASC by up to 33%. Further information on funding for local authorities can be found at the following link:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/unaccompanied-asylum-seeking-children-uasc-grant-instructions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/unaccompanied-asylum-seeking-children-uasc-grant-instructions</a></p><p> </p><p>Since its launch the National Transfer Scheme has successfully transferred unaccompanied children away from local authorities whose children’s services are under pressure. We continue to engage with local authorities across the country to encourage wider participation in the scheme.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 01/02/2017 15:23:51 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
