Abstract
Key findings • Out-of-county placements for unaccompanied asylum seeking children have increased in the last few years. • Placements happen without transfer of responsibility between Local Authorities (LAs). LAs receiving young people report having little or no information provided about them. This lack of information affects the capacity of professionals within the LA to address emerging care needs and provide timely access to services and support. • Money-saving concerns are affecting the care LAs are able to provide to young people seeking asylum in their care. Services for older children seem particularly affected and there is evidence that the quality of service provision can sharply decline as they become care leavers at 18. • Closer collaboration between LAs and the Home Office means that social workers find it more difficult to build trust with and to fulfil their statutory duties towards migrant young people in their care
