Frontline experience

The number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) arriving in the UK has surged in recent years. This influx presents significant legal and logistical challenges, as local authorities are required to provide immediate and long-term care while navigating a complex area of the law.

We have more than a decade of experience in acting for one of the UK’s largest local authorities, advising on their duties relating to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) and families with no recourse to public funds (NRPF). We have successfully defended legal challenges related to age assessments, care provision, and the withdrawal of support.

Expert legal guidance

Timely legal advice helps prevent costly mistakes that can arise from misunderstandings of the law. It also protects the local authority and the children involved from the repercussions of non-compliance

As a former in-house legal team, we have unique insight into how local authorities work and the pressures faced by children and legal teams. We understand the challenges you face in remaining compliant and fulfilling your statutory obligations, all whilst demonstrating continual service improvement. Our experience allows us to identify issues and address them quickly, saving you time, money, and further legal complications.
