Refugee and Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking (UASC) Young People

As a refugee or migrant young person, you will have general access to leaving care support. Your entitlement to support can be affected by your immigration status, and this will be set out in your pathway plan.

We recognise that you may have some needs that are different to other care leavers, and we will seek to support you with these. We will do this by: 

• giving you information and supporting you to access legal advice and where to access advice about your immigration status
• providing advice and support to access appropriate educational courses, for example, ESOL classes
• support with transitioning to adulthood
• supporting you to access public funds and other services
• giving you financial assistance whilst you are awaiting a decision from the Home Office
• covering your first application cost for travel documents once you turn 18
