The nationality and immigration status of looked after children should be established as early as possible, ideally when the referral is made to the local authority. However, whilst it may be obvious that an unaccompanied asylum-seeking child will need support with their immigration status, it may not be so easy to identify children with other immigration issues. This workshop will provide social worker practitioners with the tools and knowledge they need to be able to identify children with immigration issues as early as possible in the social care framework.
