Case resolution
----------

Update on case resolution: Q&A now on Home Office website – Case
Resolution is not an amnesty [August 2007]
In the week commencing 2 July 2007 the Home Office sent out a total of
6,000 letters and questionnaires to families with children in accordance
with its priority to address cases in receipt of support.
This briefing provides some basic advice about responding to these
letters.

Briefing:
"In July 2006 the Home Secretary announced that all asylum cases outside
the New Asylum Model1 will be resolved by June 20112. These cases,
formerly known as legacy cases and now called case resolution, are being
dealt with by the Case Resolution Directorate at the Border and Immigration
Agency (BIA). It is estimated that there could be as many as 450,000
such cases at all stages of the asylum determination process, hence the
need for a planned approach to their resolution."

[02] Education
----------

Children of asylum seekers
- From autumn 2007, giving asylum children who have spent at least
three years in Scottish schools the same access as Scottish children
to full time further and higher education
- Working with Glasgow City Council to implement recent HMIE
recommendations on providing nursery places for 3 and 4 year-old
children of asylum families

This government believes that regardless of where they come from and why
any child living in Scotland should receive care, protection and
education.
