Abstract | Children and young people arriving in the UK seeking asylum, who are separated from their parents or lawful guardians (separated children and young people) are placed into the care of the receiving local authority. They will remain in this care until 18 years of age, at which point they make the transition to leaving care. There is much evidence to suggest that this is a difficult move. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that because of the multiple stressors faced by separated children and young people, this can be a particularly distressing time, impacting on their psychological well-being. However, there is little empirical evidence to support this. There is even less research which explores this transition from the experiences of the young people themselves. |
