Ms Louise Bayliss:

Our concern is that there are unaccompanied minors coming into the country and they are not being put into resources where there are qualified support staff. We do not have enough research to make sweeping statements but we have concerns in that we believe strongly that accommodation that is being offered should not be offered just with security staff. Minors need support staff, not just security staff. While we do not have the full research done, we have concerns that security staff are not the appropriate people to look after vulnerable children and unaccompanied minors.
