Dear Sir or Madam,
I would like information relating to age assessments carried out by
Liverpool Social Services on Asylum Seekers.
Specifically I would like to know:
The number of age assessments,
The number of assessments where the asylum seeker is assessed as
being younger than claimed,
The number which remain the same,
The number which assess the persons age as older than they claim.
I would also like to know the general basis for and background on
which these assessments are made, ie what studies/guidance is used
during the assessment process
I would like the time period to cover from the start of the
dispersal programme in 2000 to the present day. If this proves too
difficult, data from the last 3 years would be acceptable.
Yours faithfully,
Ewan Roberts

Dear Sir or Madam,
4 weeks ago I placed a request for information about age
assessments relating to unaccompanied minors with you. I have heard
nothing to date and this is now longer than legislation requires
for your response. I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Yours sincerely,
Ewan Roberts
