| The Children’s Society has published a report on supporting separated migrant children in England. Findings include: the best interests of separated children are not properly assessed and the care planning process is complicated by the temporary leave generally granted to separated children. Recommendations include: the Government should introduce a multi-agency Best Interests Determination process and an alternative child protection status should be explored for separated children who do not qualify for asylum. |
