There are many misconceptions about young refugees and asylum
seekers in Britain. Declan Henry dispels the myths and gives a
compassionate and empathetic view of the daily struggles they face
including discrimination, racism and poverty. This book explores
the reasons why they came to the UK and the safeguarding issues
involved, the services they receive and the gaps and inequalities
in the system as a whole. The injustice of long Home Office delays
in the processing of applications and appeal processes are outlined
and, as it is becoming more difficult for many young people to get
Leave to Remain, the impact on their lives in terms of
accommodation, education and planning for the future are
explored. The author also looks at the emotional and mental
health needs of young people including those with undiagnosed
learning needs and difficulties. Ultimately, the book paints a
graphic picture of what life is like in Britain for young people
– cut off from their country of their origin and families – and
how they are expected to make a new life in Britain with limited
resources. There are works of non-fiction that are not only
timely but also extremely important. Young Refugees And
Asylum Seekers by author Declan Henry is one of them. The
refugee crisis, and the plight of children and young adults, is
brought into sharp focus in this powerful, challenging and
well-written book. With precision, this author highlights both the
lack of resources and unfair treatment of those who enter a new
country without a caregiver as well as the monumental efforts of
good people who work within a challenging system to exact change
while practicing kindness. The importance of seeing children as
children first is at the core of this valuable book. And we are
reminded that the way we treat the most vulnerable is a testament
to who we are, fundamentally, as human beings and a society. I
highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to better understand
the refugee crisis and to those in search of an opportunity to make
a difference. Nancy Richardson Fischer, author of When
Elephants Fly, The Speed of Falling Objects
