Abstract

Key findings • Local authorities and central government define ‘missing’ in different ways reflecting differing concerns and agendas. • There is limited attention given to ‘missing’ unaccompanied young people seeking asylum once they turn 18. • The transition to institutional adulthood (at 18 years) greatly increases young people’s anxieties and fears about their futures. Fear of being apprehended and deported drives many young people with no secure status to disengage from services and abscond. • Disengaging from services means for many an abrupt transition into precarity and destitution. Absconding means relying on community and support networks and may lead to forms of exploitation and vulnerability
