Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what safeguarding measures are in place to protect children eligible for relocation to the UK under the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy who are currently staying in Government-funded temporary accommodation in (a) Pakistan and (b) other countries.

Caseworkers in Islamabad support eligible people in HMG-funded accommodation in Pakistan. This includes regular welfare checks. A mixture of MOD and FCDO staff provide support in other third countries. Any safeguarding incidents are dealt with by these teams as they arise. MOD staff maintain contact with eligible people who are in Afghanistan.
