About the book

There are about 6,000 unaccompanied asylum-seeking and refugee children in the UK. These children have survived conflict, persecution and the consequences of these - trauma, injury, pain, loss and separation. The complex journeys they have undertaken, the risks endured and the uncertainty of what they may have experienced up to the point where the decision to leave was made. How should these children be welcomed? How should they be treated? What special factors apply? This Practice Guide addresses these questions and calls for local authorities to provide for these children.
