Due to wars, violence and destitution, children continue to flee their homes for safety abroad. In 2015, 96,000 unaccompanied minors applied for asylum in Europe. Refugee children remain vulnerable to disease, trafficking, abuse and sexual exploitation.  
 
From age assessment to under-assessment of in-country risk; from Dubs to Dublin, our courts grapple daily with children facing legal complexity in their claims to asylum in the UK.
 
Join our panel of experts to discuss the current legal challenges facing child refugees in the UK.
