Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what background information is given to schools about the situation in the home countries of pupils who have arrived in the UK as asylum seekers or refugees.

The department does not provide information on the situation in other countries to schools educating children who are asylum seekers and refugees.

The circumstances for civilians in many conflict zones are widely reported upon in the media and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office publishes brief profiles for each foreign nation. These profiles can be found at: https://www.data.gov.uk/dataset/6e1f22a9-feb9-49d8-8e61-8fc19764480a/fco-country-profiles.
