This circular sets out the arrangements for the payment of the Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) Leaving Care Grant to local authorities most affected by the Hillingdon Judgment. It covers the year to 31 March 2005. Payment is to assist towards meeting the costs of supporting additional numbers of 'former relevant children' under section 23C of the Children Act 1989. This circular should be read in conjunction with circular, LAC (2004)6.
Although many of the Department of Health's Children and Families functions have transferred to the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), these circulars will continue to be issued in the Local Authority Circular (LAC) series for the foreseeable future.
