Unaccompanied Children in UK lack support

Unaccompanied children who have fled persecution to seek asylum in Britain are being deprived of the support they need as a funding shortfall drives councils to save money, according to a report by the children's commissioner for England. There are about 6,035 unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in England, of which the majority are in London.
