Book excerpt: The displacement of unaccompanied young people to countries far from home happens for many reasons: what unites these young people is the experience of being separated from their roots, their culture and all that is familiar. Important questions examined here include: are young asylum seekers entitled to the same services as children in the UK care system and, if so, do they receive it?; how are young people's needs defined and assessed?; and how do the services provided affect their progress and welfare?
