To apply for a British passport, a person must first hold a form of British nationality.

Mothers could only pass on British nationality from 1 January 1983.<\/p>

The Independent Child Trafficking Advocates provision will continue to operate in the early adopter sites in Greater Manchester, Hampshire and Wales up until the end of March 2020<\/p>

We have invested an additional £2m to expand the ICTA provision into West Midlands, East Midlands and Croydon. This will mean the service will be available in one third of all local authorities by April 2019.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) regularly publishes National Referral Mechanism (NRM) data but does not publish data about the timescales for reaching reasonable grounds or conclusive grounds decisions by either UKVI or the Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Unit in the NCA.<\/p>

The NCA does not publish data regarding the age of potential victims when an NRM decision is made, only whether they were an adult or child at the time when the exploitation took place.<\/p>

Latest statistics on NRM referrals and decisions are available at the following link: http://nationalcrimeagency.gov.uk/publications/national-referral-mechanism-statistics/2018-nrm-statistics<\/p>

Information on the Independent Child Trafficking Advocate (ICTA) service and children who exited support can be found in the Interim Report published by the Home Office in July, and the accompanying data tables on Gov.UK.<\/p>

On turning 18, any young person who is awaiting an NRM decision, becomes eligible for support from The Salvation Army through the Victim Care Contract. It is part of the ICTA\u2019s role to ensure they effectively transition children turning 18 into appropriate support upon leaving the ICTA service. This can include services procured through The Salvation Army and a range of locally provided adult services. The transition of children out of the ICTA service, including when a child turns 18, is being examined as part of the next phase of the assessment of the ICTA service in early adopter sites and will form part of the final report, to be published in Spring 2019.<\/p>

EU citizens and their family members resident in the UK by 31 December 2020 will be able to apply for UK immigration status under the EU Settlement Scheme, in line with the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union published on 19 March 2018.<\/p>

As set out in paragraph 3.4 of the Statement of Intent on the scheme published on 21 June 2018, \u2018resident in the UK\u2019 will include those who are outside the UK on 31 December 2020 but who have maintained continuity of residence here, generally as set out in current free movement rules for those who have not already acquired EU permanent residence rights, and up to five years\u2019 absence for those who have. Once granted, settled status under the scheme will not lapse unless the holder is then absent from the UK for more than five consecutive years.<\/p>

We are considering carefully how we can ensure that EU citizen Crown servants and their family members, the EU citizen family members of British citizen Crown servants and EU citizen family members of HM Forces personnel, are not unfairly disadvantaged under the scheme by absences from the UK as a result of overseas postings.
