Abstract: This CASEBrief provides a summary of new administrative data on children and families seeking asylum in the UK and those receiving support from the Home Office under the Asylum Support system. Much of the recent debate on asylum seekers in the UK focuses on adults, yet evidence suggests that a significant proportion of asylum seekers are children and their parents or carers. These early findings are part of Ilona Pinter’s doctoral research looking at the needs, experiences and outcomes of children and families living on Asylum Support in the UK.
