| Safeguarding the needs of children and young people seeking asylum in the UK: addressing past failings and meeting future challenges. |
| Summary: Looks at the position of children and young people within the immigration system in the UK and concludes that there is a failure to respond to the rights and needs of children and a failure of statutory services to apply key legislation in order to provide welfare support. Recent changes in the system are discussed but the need for significant improvement to services is still considered as necessary. Includes references to relevant legal cases. |
