Pupils: Undocumented Migrants

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 3 December 2024UIN 16280

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many teachers have formally raised concern about the age of irregular migrant students in each of the last five years.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

Concerns of this nature would be raised with the individual local authority children’s services team which has responsibility for the unaccompanied asylum-seeking child, therefore the department does not hold data on this.
