There has been significant development in the support and guidance offered to unaccompanied asylum-seeking children through the ‘Child first, migrant second’ protocol. This is having a positive impact on the service they are receiving.

I would describe Josephine’s social work practice as exemplary. She is deeply committed to ensuring the best interests of the young people with whom she works, demonstrating a trauma informed approach to her interventions. Josephine has a strong knowledge of the impact of trauma and she brings this understanding into her work, not only through direct practice but also in the way in which she advocates and promotes an approach that reduces the impact of harm. I have seen Josephine respond in uncertain situations, and her experience and knowledge has provided her with a sense of confidence allowing her to manage complex situations. Josephine is able to maintain a professional, warm, and diplomatic attitude when faced with challenges, and this approach has led to developing strong and enduring relationships, with people seeing Josephine as someone who they can approach in times of need.
