UK to take in vulnerable refugee children in 'exceptional cases'
Britain will take in refugee children who have become separated from their families in Syria and other conflicts, the Government has announced.
No figure has been put on how many children will be accepted, but the UK will work with the UN to identify "exceptional cases" where vulnerable children would benefit from protection.
The scheme will only apply to children still in conflict zones and not those who have already reached Europe, as officials do not want to encourage more people to attempt the dangerous sea crossing.
