The Children’s Advice Project Service has operated since 1994 and is the only national service of its kind. Advisers work directly with separated children seeking asylum, helping them through the asylum system and ensuring that they are protected. We also offer advice and information to carers and other professionals working with unaccompanied children and young people.
What we offer
We work intensively with young people in many ways:
- Providing advice and information for young people, carers, professionals and other stakeholders by OISC registered advisers
- Helping young people access legal representation
- Accompanying the young people to asylum interviews and immigration tribunal and appeal hearings
- Supporting the young people during appointments with GPs, hospitals, social services and other service providers
We also help with other issues such as foster placements, getting into school, trying to help locate their family, health issues or simply being someone with whom they can talk when there is no one else they can turn to.
Who it's for
- Any unaccompanied asylum seeking or refugee child
- Any adult working with or supporting asylum seeking or refugee unaccompanied children
