Abstract

The problems faced by all refugees and asylum seekers arriving in Britain are great but unaccompained children have a particularly difficult time, separated from the people and places they know, and experiencing difficulties with language and a strange environment. This fourth paper in our series on child protection examines how health- and social-care staff can help.
