DG Legal: Turning 18 From An Immigration And Housing Law Perspective


17th February 2021 - Online

The transition to adulthood for young people and care leavers can be made difficult by the medley of services, legislative frameworks and the fact that many care leavers are expected to make that transition at the age of 18. For obvious reasons, the transition to adulthood is often particularly difficult for unaccompanied asylum seeking children.

In this free 1 hour webinar Ciara Bartlam of the Garden Court North Chambers Housing team and Vijay Jagadesham of the Garden Court North Chambers immigration and public law teams share their views on how to ensure a smooth transition to adulthood for young people and care leavers, especially those seeking asylum.

Ciara and Vijay will cover the inter-related issues of age assessment challenges, discretionary leave and leaving care.

A recording of the webinar will be provided to everyone that registers for the webinar.

This webinar is aimed at legal practitioners and those working with them.
