Local authorities are under a statutory obligation to provide accommodation for unaccompanied children who arrive in their area. This means that they become looked after children and should be safeguarded and have their welfare promoted in the same way as any other looked after child. To help support this, the government has revised the \u2018Statutory guidance on the care of unaccompanied migrant children and child victims of modern slavery\u2019, which was published 1 November 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/care-of-unaccompanied-and-trafficked-children<\/a>.<\/p> The government recognises that unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children can be some of the most vulnerable in our society. The government\u2019s vision and additional commitment to caring for these children is set out in the strategy for \u2018Safeguarding unaccompanied asylum seeking and refugee children\u2019, published 1 November 2017: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safeguarding-unaccompanied-asylum-seeking-and-refugee-children<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p>"}

The government wants all children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), and looked after children, to achieve well in early years, at school, in further and higher education and be prepared for adulthood.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> We have put in place a number of programmes to support improved outcomes for children and young people with SEND, including, from September 2014, introducing the largest reforms to the SEND system in a generation.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> We assess outcomes for children and young people with SEND through external measures. For example, GSCE exam results (including attainment 8 and Progress 8 measures), the early years foundation stage profile; phonics screening check, key stage 1, key stage 2, numbers of tribunal cases (including the number decided in the appellant\u2019s favour), and destinations data (the numbers going into further and higher education, and employment), absence and exclusions data.<\/p> <\/p> We have also started looking at longer-term outcomes for special educational needs (SEN) pupils. This has been possible through analysis of the longitudinal educational outcomes (LEO) dataset. This dataset, for the first time, brings together information about learners including: personal characteristics such as gender and ethnicity; education, including schools, colleges and higher education institution attended, courses taken and qualifications achieved; PAYE and self-assessed employment and income data from Her Majesty\u2019s Revenue and Customs; and data on benefits claims from the Department of Work and Pensions.<\/p> <\/p> Initial analysis relating to longer term employment and benefit outcomes of SEN pupils was published in July 2018. This analysis was based on those who completed key stage 4 in academic years 2002/03 and 2003/04.
