The Government continues to take steps to support local authorities to provide timely placements to unaccompanied children through the National Transfer Scheme (NTS). We remain committed to working with the local authority sector to ensure the system continues to operate effectively and unaccompanied asylum-seeking children move out of Home Office hotels quickly in light of the ECPAT judgment in the High Court.
