What Challenges the Social Worker to Promote the Rights of Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children in the UK?

The number of asylum-seekers who apply for asylum from within the United Kingdom is on the increase as resources to cater for these asylum-seekers dwindle. In a globalised world, what transpires in faraway places does have a local impact and it is acceptable for the individual to try to do what is best for them. However, the care and protection of unaccompanied children who are seeking asylum in the United Kingdom is far more involved compared to the care of adult asylum-seekers or families. This essay presents a discussion about unaccompanied children seeking asylum in the United Kingdom and the challenge of the social worker caring for these children.
