Unaccompanied asylum seeking children
Change a life, help support a future
There are a growing number of unaccompanied asylum seeking children who have no responsible adult to look after them.
Sadly, they have often been forced to leave their families and homes for a variety of reasons, such as a consequence of wars, natural disasters, famine, disease or persecution. They need a safe and understanding environment to help them heal from the trauma they have experienced. Often, they speak little to no English so will need help from foster carers to support them to adjust to a new culture and with their education.
It’s very important that these young people are supported to maintain their identity as they are often far from home and their families. As a foster carer you’ll be promoting and celebrating their culture, language and heritage in lots of different ways.
