	<p>If you are claiming asylum at the asylum intake unit and you want any of your dependants (such as a partner, or children
		under 18 years old) to be part of your asylum application, you must bring them with you.</p>
	<p>You have the right to claim asylum as a dependant. You can also submit your own claim for asylum during the screening process
		or at a later time, if you have separate information as to why you may qualify as a refugee. You should make your claim
		as early as possible, otherwise the delay may affect your credibility.</p>
	<p>The screening process can take several hours and you may wish to take something to eat and drink with you if possible. The
		asylum intake unit has facilities for families, such as family interview rooms that have separate areas for your children
		to play, draw or watch television. However, you may still wish to take activities with you or take a friend who can help
		to look after your children.</p>
	<p>The asylum screening process is split into several parts. These include:</p>
	<ul>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Gathering your biometric information (taking your fingerprints and photographs). Your biometric information will be collected
			and stored on a card which will be posted to you shortly after the screening process. This is called an Application Registration
			Card (ARC) – find more here.</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Carrying out identity and security checks.</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Confirming whether or not you require accommodation and gathering information to assist with making a decision on where
			in the UK you will be accommodated.</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">Completing a screening interview which will include:
			<ul>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">Basic questions about your identity and details of your family</li>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">How you travelled to the UK</li>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">Whether you have any medical conditions</li>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">Giving a brief explanation of why you fled your country</li>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">Questions relating to any criminal convictions you may have and any necessary questions relating to national security</li>
				<li style="list-style-position: inside">Whether you would prefer to have a man or a woman to interview you during your substantive interview</li>
		</ul>
		</li>
	</ul>
	<p>If you are homeless, you should inform the Home Office of your/your family’s needs. After the screening interview the Home
		Office will consider whether to place you in temporary accommodation. This decision will be based on likelihood of destitution.
		You will need to inform the Home Office of any medical conditions you or your dependants have and:</p>
	<ul>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If you have run out of medication</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If you are in need of medical attention</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If you are a victim of torture</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If you have been or are being trafficked and/or exploited</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If your children have another parent in the UK</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If any children are doing final exams at school</li>
		<li style="list-style-position: inside">If you are pregnant</li>
	</ul>
	<p>The Home Office will look at the information you give them and make a decision about the area in which you will be offered
		temporary accommodation.</p>
	<p>Please note that you have the right to request a copy of your screening interview.</p>
