Table 12: Asylum applications by Unaccompanied Children Seeking Asylum (excl. dependants) Applications , Registered office: : Gredley House, 11 Broadway, Stratford, E15 4BQ, United Kingdom VAT reg no: Page 5 of 8
6 Iran was the top country of origin for number of unaccompanied children (23% of all applications in Q1 2016). Afghanistan accounted for 19% of applications, Iraq for 15%, and Albania for 15%.

Table 13: Applications by unaccompanied children seeking asylum Total Applications % Female Applications by girls Q % Q % Q % Q % Q % For the detailed statistics on the main countries of origin for unaccompanied girls seeking asylum see the Refugee Council briefing on annual trends in statistics. Age Disputed Cases The number of age disputed cases raised in Q was 296, an increase compared with Q (108). Iran (86), Afghanistan (72) and Iraq (52) were the countries of origin with the largest number of age disputed cases in Q Table 14: Age Disputed Asylum applications (excl. dependants) Applications N.B. The Home Office statistics on age disputed cases do not include the category of those applicants who claim to be children but who are treated as adult because in the opinion of an Immigration officer their physical appearance and/or general demeanour very strongly indicates that they are significantly over 18 years and no other credible evidence exists to the contrary Decisions The majority of decisions on asylum applications by unaccompanied children under the age of 18 used to be grants of discretionary leave. In 2013, for example, 72% of all grants of discretionary leave were to children aged 17 and under, although they accounted for only 5% of total decisions. For decisions on unaccompanied children who have reached the age of 18 there was a refusal rate of 70% in For unaccompanied children a new category, UASC leave, has been used since 2013 in cases where the only reason for giving leave is that the applicant is a child who cannot be returned, and this means there are far fewer grants of discretionary leave.
