Amendments 452A and 452B tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Garden, would enable local authorities to direct the admission of children in the asylum process with refugee status or on humanitarian protection and resettlement schemes. The fair access protocol—the local and collaborative process for securing school places for unplaced and vulnerable children—already ensures that children of refugees and asylum seekers can be secured places in the event that they fail to secure one via the usual in-year admissions process.
