Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many serious incident notifications were made to the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel in respect of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in each month from 1 July 2021 to 31 January 2022.

Serious incident data held by the department does not currently indicate whether an incident relates to an unaccompanied asylum-seeking child. However, the department is in the process of making changes to the notification system which will include whether a serious incident relates to an unaccompanied asylum-seeking child.
