Unaccompanied asylum seeking children eBook only
The response of social work services
The displacement of unaccompanied young people to countries far away from home happens for many reasons, from the need to seek safety from armed conflict, political upheaval or natural disasters, to escape from exploitation by unscrupulous traffickers.
How do social services in the UK respond to these young asylum seekers? Are they entitled to the same service as looked after children and, if so, do they receive it? How are young people's needs defined and assessed?
The study is enhanced by numerous quotes from team managers and social workers as well as children and young people.
This study will be invaluable for childcare professionals, asylum teams and all those seeking to understand and support unaccompanied young asylum seekers.
