Abstract

Key findings • With adequate care and support, migrant young people can make highly successful transitions at 18. • Many unaccompanied migrant young people face specific difficulties when transitioning to adulthood (compared to non-migrant young people in local authority care). • The quality of local authority social care support for young people turning 18, and at later transitions, varies widely within and between local authorities. • Some young people choose to disengage from statutory services at 18 because they fear detention and forced removal. • For young people who have exhausted their appeal rights, transition to adulthood can mean having to survive by relying on social networks and the informal economy. • Transition to adulthood for young people who disengage from services is often characterised by homelessness, destitution and poor mental and physical health.
