Freedom of Information Request - initial age assessment asylum-seekers

To whom it may concern,

Under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, I would like to request the following information:

1. Please confirm the number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children that were accommodated by your local authority whose ages were accepted without further enquiries, excluding National Transfer Scheme (NTS) cases, in the following periods: January 2020-January 2021, January 2021- January 2022, January 2022-present;
2. Please confirm the number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children that were accommodated by your local authority pending a full age assessment, excluding NTS cases, in the following periods: January 2020-January 2021, January 2021- January 2022, January 2022-present;
3. Please confirm the number of young asylum seekers claiming to be under the age of 18 who were referred to your local authority and were found to be clearly and obviously over the age of 18 and denied support following initial inquiries in the following periods: January 2020-January 2021, January 2021- January 2022, January 2022-present. Please confirm, in how many of these cases, your local authority decided to accommodate the young people following legal challenges and/or reconsideration requests in respect of the initial inquiries.

I would like you to provide this information in the following format: email.

If this request is too wide or unclear, I would be grateful if you could contact me as I understand that under the Act, you are required to advise and assist requesters.
If any of this information is already in the public domain, it would be helpful if you could direct me to it, with page references and URLs if necessary.

Please do not hesitate to contact me at [email address] should any aspect of my request require clarification.

Kind Regards,
Sabrina Galella
