| Abstract: |
In 2008 Save the Children commissioned an all-Wales scoping exercise. Its purpose was to determine the issues facing frontline workers in relationto securing the care and protection of trafficked, separated, and children and families seeking asylum, identify critical gaps in the knowledge and skills of these workers and practice development opportunities. These include social workers, education professionals, police, legal professionals, health professionals, voluntary / community sector workers, housing providers, UK Borders and Agency (UKBA) staff. A research team was commissioned to undertake this exercise, assisted by a reference group with membership from key service providers and agencies working with young asylum-seeker children in Wales. The research team produced an extensive background research paper based on the findings of a scoping exercise. This summary report is a summary of those findings and concludes with a number of recommendations targeted at the Welsh Assembly Government, local authorities, Wales Strategic Migration Partnership (WSMP) and other commissioners and service providers in Wales. |
