	<p>Applications from those under 18 years of age are considered under a different process from adult applications due to the
		specific needs and requirements of children.</p>
	<p>The Home Office will, when considering applications from children, take into account the need to safeguard and promote the
		welfare of children in the UK. They will contact your local authority’s Children’s Services Department on your behalf,
		if you are not already known to them. They will also be responsible for looking after you and giving you accommodation
		if you are not accompanied by an adult.</p>
	<p>If you claim to be under 18 years of age and the Home Office has reasons not to believe you, you will need to provide credible
		documentary evidence of your age. If you do not have any evidence to prove your age and your physical appearance and/or
		demeanour very strongly suggest that you are significantly over 18 years old, the Home Office will consider your asylum
		claim under adult procedures, until there is credible documentary or other persuasive evidence to demonstrate your age.</p>
	<p>If you disagree with their decision to treat you as an adult, you may approach your local authority’s Children’s Services
		Department with a view for them undertaking their own assessment of your age. All applicants will be afforded the benefit
		of a doubt and treated as children until a professional age assessment has been completed.</p>
	<p>If you need further advice or assistance on this matter, please contact Migrant Help on 0808 8010 503.</p>
