answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2016 answer text <p>As at 31 March 2015, five per cent of 10-17 year olds who had been in care for a year or more had been convicted of an offence or were subject to a final warning or reprimand.[1] Proven offending by young people, including looked after children has fallen significantly in recent years. Since the peak in youth offending in 2007, proven youth offending is down 79%; first-time entrants to the youth justice system are down 82%. Youth offending teams work with the police and other agencies to prevent looked after children from offending and coming in to contact with the youth justice system.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has asked Sir Martin Narey to review residential care for looked after children and he will make recommendations on criminalisation. Charlie Taylor is leading a review of youth justice. We will respond to those reviews in due course.</p><p> </p><p>I am grateful to the Prison Reform Trust for their contribution to this important debate. The Minister of State for Children and Families recently met with Lord Laming to discuss the contents of the Prison Reform Trust’s report ‘In care, out of trouble’.</p><p> </p><p><em><br> </em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] Department for Education Statistical First Release - 34/2015</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 09/06/2016 15:44:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2014 answer text <p>Local authorities have a duty to provide support to unaccompanied asylum seeking children, as they would to any other looked after child. Where the age of a person is uncertain and there are reasons to believe that the person is a child, that person is presumed to be a child in order to receive immediate access to assistance, support and protection. Local authorities may only conduct an age assessment where there is significant reason to doubt that the claimant is a child. This assessment must adhere to standards established within case law.</p><p>The Government does not hold any data on numbers of child asylum applicants refused support by local authorities.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 14/07/2014 12:59:38 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
