Every year, thousands of children arrive in the UK alone, seeking asylum due to unsafe conditions in their home countries. These unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) must apply for protection, with some obtaining refugee status while others face rejection. In 2006, 3,245 children sought asylum, making up 12% of total applications. The majority came from countries like Afghanistan, Iran, and Somalia. The government tracks these figures, emphasizing the ongoing need to address the challenges faced by vulnerable minors seeking safety.

  1. Children seeking asylum on their own in the UK

  2. Every year thousands of children come to the UK on their own, without their parents or any other adult to look after them. They come from other countries to ‘seek asylum’ (look for safety) in the UK .These children have to apply (ask) for asylum . Some of the children get asylum and can stay as ‘refugees’, but others don’t get asylum and have to go away again.

  3. The Government keeps track of everyone who seeks asylum in the UK . They produce information about who’s coming to the UK to seek asylum, this information’s called ‘annual statistics’. The annual statistics include information on children who have sought asylum on their own. The Government calls these children ‘unaccompanied asylum seeking children’ (or UASC for short).

  4. In 2006*, 3245 unaccompanied children asked for asylum in the UK. This was about 12% of all asylum applications made in 2006. In addition to these 3245 children , there were another 2270 applications from people claiming to be children, but who were not believed about their age at the time. *The most recent statistics are from 2006. The figures for 2007 will be available in August 2008.

  5. How old are unaccompanied asylum seeking children?3245 applicants were accepted as children: 51% were aged 16 or 17; 27% were aged 14 or 15; 16% were aged under 13; 5% did not get their age recorded.

  7. How many unaccompanied asylum seeking children are allowed to stay? In 2006, the Government made 2550 decisions about people aged 17 or under who were asking for asylum: 180 children got refugee status – they were given asylum and allowed to stay; 10 children got humanitarian protection – they were allowed to stay because their home country was too dangerous for them; 1,925 children got discretionary leave – they’re not given asylum, but have to stay temporarily because they can’t be sent home; 435 children were refused and had to go away.
