Meet the Children's panel

The Children's panel has three teams of “Panel Advisers” - a Drop-in Team who work in the Refugee Council offices in Brixton, London, helping separated children who may have newly arrived or are in crisis. The other two teams concentrate on more intensive casework with separated children in London and outside of the South-east, with one Panel Adviser being based in Leeds covering Yorkshire and Humberside

We operate services in other offices outside of London, and these are known as “Surgeries”. These currently operate out of Birmingham on a weekly basis, Peterborough, Luton, Liverpool and Manchester.

There is one specialist worker within the Panel, who works with girls and young women, helping them to cope with their new lives in the United Kingdom through group work and individual casework for girls who may have experienced rape and trafficking.
