The East of England Strategic Migration Partnership, in collaboration with Immigration Social Work Services are pleased to offer an online training event in Triple Planning, Human Rights Assessments and Working with Former Relevant UASC who are ARE for Local Authorities in the East of England region.
Dates: 6th and 7th July 2021
Times: 09:30 – 13:30
Access: Online via Zoom
This training will run across 2 consecutive mornings (9:30am-1:30pm on 6-7 July 2021). By signing up to this training, you are confirming that you can attend both sessions. If you cannot attend both sessions, please do not sign up for this event.
Target Audience:
This online course is aimed at social workers/personal advisors/team managers/local authority legal teams who are case-holding former relevant unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC).
Course Overview:
The increase in UASC numbers across the whole of the UK, and the implementation of the Social Work Act 2017, has meant that Local Authorities are supporting more former relevant UASC. This online course covers the roles and responsibilities of Local Authority practitioners who are supporting this client group, from the triple planning process through to the final decision on young people’s Asylum claims, be that positive or negative.
Course Content:
- An overview of the Asylum timeline
- Triple Planning – what this is and how to implement this in both care and pathway plans
- Talking to young people about Voluntary Return
- Legislation, Case Law and No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) conditions and the impact this has on our work
- Human Rights Legislation and the Human Rights Assessment
- Safety planning for those who are/at risk of becoming Appeals Rights Exhausted (ARE)
Course Structure:
Training will be delivered live on Zoom over two morning sessions. Both sessions run from 09.30 – 13:30 with a short break, and will take place on consecutive days.
Learning Outcomes:
