Dublin III Regulation

Please provide a copy of any internal policies, published or unpublished, prepared by your authority, or any central Government guidance, or other policies relating to:
1. Assessment of need of children transferred to the UK under the Dublin III regulation, including the threshold for triggering an assessment of need;
2. Provision of support for children transferred to the UK under the Dublin III regulation;
3. Liaison with the Home Office regarding children who are being assessed for transfer, or have been transferred, to the UK under the Dublin III regulation.

Devon County Council can confirm that no internal policies have been prepared in relation to the Dublin III regulation and we therefore do not hold the information you are seeking.
