Hello social workers in southern England! Do you hand over to personal advisors when the unaccompanied asylum-seeking children you work with age out of care? Please let them know about my research aimed at understanding the challenges they face and how best to support them.
Are you a social worker or personal advisor in London, East, South East or South West England who has worked with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children who have turned 18?

This study aims to understand how you support asylum-seeking adults, and the challenges you face. It will work out how best to prepare and support you as individuals and as collectives.

Your experiences and perspectives are invaluable. The findings will have an impact on policy and training considerations in the future.
