Age Assessment Toolkit for Practitioners

This toolkit provides guidance and templates for anyone supporting a refugee or asylum-seeking young person whose age has been disputed or deemed adult. It is designed to help practitioners understand the age assessment process and advocate effectively for the child.

The toolkit includes guidance, templates and resources all designed to assist the age assessment process. Refugee Council produced it in collaboration with several third-sector partners based in England; there may be small discrepancies for practitioners in Scotland as a result.
