Care and Support for Young Separated Refugees Aged 16 and 17 in Germany and the United Kingdom

£8.50

This monograph examines the care and support for young separated refugees aged 16 and 17 in Germany and the UK. In the UK, for example, around 80% of unaccompanied asylum seeking children supported by local authorities in 2000 were aged 16-17. Findings from the United Nations confirm the proportional over representation of the 16-17 age group as a European trend.
