Their circumstances and needs are complex and as a group they require careful and sensitive assessment, planning and placement. This extensive study reveals ongoing changes in the way in which unaccompanied asylum-seeking young people are looked after, explores the main features of the fostering task, offers insights into how young people and foster carers felt about their placements and outlines the key implications for policy and practice.
