Guidance on when and how Immigration Enforcement officers may arrest suspected illegal migrants can be found at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/537682/Arrest-and-restraint-v1.pdf<\/a><\/p>

All immigration enforcement visits and operations which may involve arrest, require authorisation. Operations in public places are subject to a higher level of authorisation than other types of enforcement visit or operation and require the completion of a comprehensive risk and intelligence assessment. The nature of immigration enforcement activity means that there may be unplanned encounters as part of a planned operation. In such situations, officers will undertake a dynamic risk assessment and any action will be taken within the parameters of the guidance and the powers available to the officer.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4048", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Nokes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romsey and Southampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Nokes"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-20T17:02:42.883Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-11-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Undocumented Migrants: Arrests"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the Government's policy is on suspected illegal migrants being arrested in public places.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "187141"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/999530", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/999530/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is difficult to measure the number of children at risk of child sexual exploitation with confidence because methodologies vary and because most child sexual abuse remains unreported.<\/p>

In its report, Measuring the Scale and Changing Nature of Child Sexual Abuse Child Sexual Exploitation, published in August 2018, the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse refers to several studies which have sought to assess the number of children at risk of sexual exploitation in England using different methodologies and data sources. These include a survey of 100 local authorities in 2016 which identified 13,466 children at risk, and a study by the Office of the Children's Commissioner in 2012 which estimated 16,500 children to be at risk.<\/p>

The Department for Education published statistics on \u201cCharacteristics of children in need: 2017/18: England\u201d on 25 October 2018. These show nearly 20,000 assessments carried out by children\u2019s services where child sexual exploitation was identified as being a factor that contributed to the child being in need. However, these figures count numbers of assessments, not number of children, so if a child has more than one assessment where child sexual exploitation is identified as a factor then they will be counted more than once in these figures.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-11-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-11-20T17:07:23.667Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Offences against Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information the Department holds on the number of children assessed as being at risk of Child Sexual Exploitation in the latest year for which information is available.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4473", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Louise Haigh"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sheffield, Heeley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Louise Haigh"} ], "uin" : "185657"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/997366", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/997366/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The EU Settlement Scheme provides a streamlined, user-friendly, digital application system, with multiple service options to meet the needs of a varied customer base, including additional support for the vulnerable.<\/p>

As outlined in the Immigration Rules for the next private beta testing phase, a child being looked after (within the meaning of section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) by, or a person who was such a child and is eligible for support or assistance under the Children Act 1989 (or under regulations made under that Act) from one of the named local authorities can apply. Additionally, a vulnerable person receiving support from one of the named civil society organisations will be eligible to make an application. These include more than one organisation which works with victims of trafficking.<\/p>
