The UK has a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and robust controls against the diversion of aid to ensure that funds are used only for their intended purpose.

DFID\u2019s programme Supporting Economic Empowerment and Development in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (SEED OPTs)<\/em> has several components, working on trade facilitation and customs, water and energy, and helping the PA and Israel to abide by their obligations under the Paris Protocol. Work with the Palestinian Authority in the water and energy sectors will be channelled through The World Bank Partnership for Infrastructure Development in the West Bank and Gaza Multi Donor Trust Fund. Through this framework, funds will flow from the trust fund to dedicated accounts that will be managed by the PA in accordance with rules established by the World Bank.<\/p> <\/p> Alongside a range of other safeguards, all components will be subject to financial audits. The terms of reference of the audits will vary depending on the component, however all independent financial audits provide assurance to DFID that the expenditure of funds will only be on agreed programme activities. The overall DFID OPTs portfolio is also subject to the regular audit cycle of DFID\u2019s Internal Audit Department and the National Audit Office.<\/p>"}

The next publication: Immigration Statistics, year ending December 2018 will be released on 29 February 2019 at:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release<\/a><\/p> Information on children in detention broken down by quarter, is available in the detention tables in the latest release of \u2018Immigration Statistics, year ending September 2018\u2019, available from the Home Office website at:<\/p> https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/758249/detention-sep-2018-tables.ods<\/a><\/p> The UK does not operate refugee detention centres and ended the routine detention of children in 2010 and, in line with the Immigration Act 2014, does not hold unaccompanied children in immigration removal centres. There remain limited circumstances where unaccompanied children may be detained for a short period, usually at ports of entry. This will be done for safeguarding reasons and will be for a very brief period, normally just a matter of hours, until alternative care arrangements are made. Families with children intercepted at the border may also be detained very briefly, but the Home Office does not publish data on children detained at the border.<\/p> Under the Family Returns Process, which was established in 2011 as an alternative to routine detention in immigration removal centres, a family with children with no lawful basis of stay in the UK who fails to comply with Home Office attempts to encourage and support voluntary return may, as a last resort, be detained at dedicated Pre Departure Accommodation (PDA), for a short period immediately prior to removal. The operation of the PDA is regulated by the published PDA Operating Standards. Treatment of children more generally is also governed by Detention Services Order 19/2012 \u201cSafeguarding Children Policy.\u201d These documents can be found at:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pre-departure-operating-standards<\/a><\/p>
