A Responsible Transition: Seconding Our Social Worker to Humans for Rights Network

As Refugee Youth Service prepares to close this summer, we have seconded our social worker to Humans for Rights Network. This reflects the approach we set out when announcing our closure: to wind down responsibly, make careful use of our remaining capacity, and do what we can to ensure continuity for young people beyond the life of RYS. At this stage, it would not be responsible for us to take on new cases directly, given the length and complexity of this work. The secondment allows that capacity to be used well, while ensuring that the cases taken on during this period will continue to be supported by Humans for Rights Network after our social worker’s contract with RYS ends.
