The Home Office focuses on the small risk of adults being placed in child settings as a result of incorrect age assessments, but, at present, there are a series of checks and balances in place both for individual cases and across the system for UASC children. If a person is misplaced, that can be rectified. But if a child is wrongly assessed to be an adult and placed in an adult setting with minimal protections, this is a much greater concern for that young person.
