Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Scottish Guardianship Service for unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors, following the publication of the report An evaluation of the Scottish Guardianship Service in November 2021.

The Home Office takes our duty of care towards children and young people extremely seriously and we prioritise asylum applications from children and young people. We do not run the Scottish Guardianship Service and the evaluation is therefore for the Scottish government, but we welcome the support offered to unaccompanied asylum seeking children by the service.
