UASC and ethnic minority placements.
Unaccompanied young people are particularly vulnerable. UASC young people often have complex needs and have often experienced trauma either before, during or after their arrival in the UK. Additional issues are also likely to arise in relation to unaccompanied young people, whether they have or have not been, or suspected of being, victims of exploitation, trafficking or modern slavery. This includes issues such as their immigration status, their need for interpreters and specialist legal advice. Some unaccompanied children may have been persecuted or have experienced or witnessed horrific acts of violence.
Youth Haven provide bespoke care packages tailored to meet the needs of UASC young people. We provide asylum support, mental and emotional wellbeing support and accommodation. We understands that UASC children may have experienced significant trauma and uncertainty.
