When a young person requests asylum in the UK, their age may be disputed. An appropriate and independent adult may be asked to work with and support that young person.
By the end of this course, learners will:
- Recognise the importance of seeing the young person as more than an asylum seeker
- Be able to reflect on the traumatic journeys that young people may have undertaken before their arrival in the UK
- Understand the process that a young person will go through once they make a claim for asylum, and how age assessment fits within this
- Have a thorough understanding of the key terms and legislation relating to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, and to age assessments
- Understand the role of the appropriate adult in age assessments
