Participant Reviews
"This training should be mandatory for Social Workers and teachers that work with unaccompanied asylum seeking children."
Mery Mekonen - Education Casework Manager
"A rare opportunity to understand the journey of an unaccompanied child, facilitated by a young person who once was one. A unique space to reflect on and consider the realities of children's journey and the impact this will have on them once they have reached the UK."
Paul Williams - Supported Lodgings Caseworker
"The training allowed me the space to place myself in the mind of a child, and to understand how we can help them build up resilience as they journey in life."
Denise McClean - Supervising Social Worker
