Migrants attempt dangerous journey to reach the UK

A record number of unaccompanied migrant children have been arriving in the UK after crossing the English Channel in small boats, according to recent figures.

Unaccompanied means the children are making the journey without either of their parents.

This route is often used by migrants who have made it to mainland Europe but want to travel on to the UK and reach the port of Dover in Kent, South East England.
