About this course

This course explores issues related to the care of separated asylum seeking and refugee children and the role of social carers, particularly in the light of the curent climate and legislation. Asylum seekers and refugees are often in the news and the number of children and young people in this category who need foster care is increasing.

This course will enable participants to:

  • explore issues related to the care of separated asylum-seeking and refugee children and young people
  • clarify terminology such as 'refugee' and 'asylum-seeker'
  • identify some reasons why children and young people become asylum-seekers and refugees
  • consider the implications of the UK asylum-seeking process for separated refugee and asylum-seeking children and young people.
