The Department does not hold data on the number of asylum seekers who have required treatment for mental breakdown in each of the last five years in a reportable format

However, UKVI has an Adult and Children Safeguarding Strategies in place to make sure vulnerable people, regardless of age, are protected. This includes identifying children and adults at risk and sensitively signposting them to appropriate support services.
