EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order brings into force on 6th January 2009 the Code of Practice on Children issued by the Secretary of State for the Home Department. This Code of Practice is designed to ensure that in exercising functions in the United Kingdom, the UK Border Agency takes appropriate steps to ensure that while children are in the United Kingdom they are safe from harm. Since the UK Borders Act 2007 gained royal assent, the Border and Immigration Agency has changed its title to the UK Border Agency.
