The Vulnerable Children\u2019s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) resettles \u2019at-risk\u2019 refugee children from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including their families. Our aim is to resettle up to 3,000 people (children and families, where the child at risk is part of a family unit) through the scheme by 2020.<\/p>
The scheme does not solely target unaccompanied children, but on UNHCR\u2019s advice also extends to vulnerable \u2018children at risk\u2019, such as those threatened with child labour, child marriage and other forms of abuse or exploitation. It is open to all at risk groups and nationalities within the region. There is therefore no specific quota on the number of unaccompanied children who may be referred to, or resettled through, the scheme.<\/p>
The numbers resettled in a particular period depend on a range of factors in-cluding the flow of referrals from UNHCR in the field and the availability of suitable accommodation and care packages in the UK<\/p>
