This training will run across 2 consecutive mornings (9:30am-1:30pm on 9-10 May 2022).  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 Microsoft Teams 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:

By the end of the course learners will:

  • Understand the timeline of an Asylum Claim for UASC and how this can lead to the Human Rights Assessment
  • Develop their knowledge around the triple planning process and how to apply this when working with UASC (relevant and former relevant)
  • Understand the impact of each pathway of the triple planning process
  • Determine when Local Authorities need to undertake a Human Rights Assessment for a former relevant UASC
  • Demonstrate their understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the Local Authority towards former relevant UASC who are Appeals Rights Exhausted (ARE) using case law and legislation
  • Develop best practice when working with those who are/ or are at risk of becoming ARE
  • Feel confident in their work with young people, putting safety plans in place to reduce the risk of exploitation and destitution
  • Develop their understanding of the voluntary return process and increase their confidence in using this knowledge to inform their pathway planning
