The number of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) in the UK increased from 2,399 in 2017 to 4,382 in 2021. Despite their high prevalence of #mentalhealth issues, #UASC receive inadequate support and underutilize mental health services.

The National Transfer Scheme (NTS), introduced in 2016, aims to distribute UASC more evenly across local authorities, but the NHS lacks a coordinated approach to their mental health care. Without proper treatment, UASC show no significant mental health improvement over two years.

This report presents recommendations on assessments, screening tools, and psychological interventions for developing a pathway for UASC within statutory services. Please see the link for findings: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13…
