answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Home Office does not have a direct role in this policy area. The Department of Education provides statutory guidance to local authorities about how to support care leavers, including care leavers who are asylum seekers. The guidance makes clear that asylum seekers should receive the same level of support as any other care leaver. The Home Office does, however, provide funding to local authorities to help cover the costs of supporting the young people.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>A number of local authorities have indicated that they would like to participate in the Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme, and discussions are ongoing with other local authorities who have expressed an interest. However, as the scheme is based on vulnerability, including women and children at risk, people with medical needs and survivors of torture and violence, it would not be appropriate for us to release details of where individuals are being placed, as this may undermine their privacy and recovery.<br><br>The first beneficiaries of the scheme arrived in the UK on 25 March. This is the result of excellent cooperation with UNHCR, the International Organisation for Migration and local authority services, which has allowed us to identify vulnerable individuals in need of evacuation and ensure that the support they need is in place in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
