Migrants: Children

Answer

The Home Office publishes data on age assessments in the ‘Immigration System Statistics Quarterly Release’. This quarter’s release reintroduces age assessment statistics published in the chapter ‘How many people have their age assessed?’. This includes new detail on the type and outcome of age assessments and provides detailed context and explanations of the data.

Data on the number of first and latest outcomes of age assessments is published in table Age_D03 of the ‘Age assessments datasets’. The latest data relates to individuals with a first age assessment between July and December 2025. Data prior to July 2025 are unavailable due to transition of the system from which these data originate.

The percentage of overturned age assessments may change over time as further age assessments are completed. As a result, data for more recent periods is more likely to be subject to future revision. Information on future Home Office statistical release dates can be found in the ‘Research and statistics calendar’.
