Immigration and asylum - leaving care

We will work with you if you are seeking asylum in the UK and you entered as a child.

You will need to present to the Home Office to lodge your claim for asylum. You will be assessed by the Home Office and referred to a local council to care for you until your application is determined.

Dependent on age and assessment, under 16's are usually be placed in foster care and 16 to 17 year olds are placed in semi-independent shared housing. We will look at your strengths and see how we can use those strengths to ensure that you get familiar with the UK system.
