Children in Care: Migrants

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 26 November 2024UIN 14736

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children in the care system are from non-UK citizenship families; and what the total cost to the public purse is of their care.

Answered by Janet Daby

The information on the nationality of children looked after by local authorities in England is not held centrally by the department. Therefore, we are not able to provide the figures requested.
