New Resources: Explaining Triple Planning to Young People

 

Supporting Separated Migrant Young People: New Resources for Social Work Staff

Navigating the migration and asylum process can be daunting, especially for young people who find themselves separated from their families and in unfamiliar environments. Social work staff play a vital role in guiding these young people through the challenges they face. To help you explain the concept of triple planning, we’ve created some new resources that are here to make your life a little easier—and your conversations more impactful.

So, What’s Triple Planning?
Triple planning is a way of preparing separated migrant young people for the possible outcomes of their asylum process. It’s all about ensuring they feel supported, no matter what happens. The three outcomes we focus on are:

  1. A positive grant of protection status: Planning for life when the young person receives refugee status or another form of protection.
  2. Waiting for an outcome: Supporting them through the uncertainty of long waits, whether it’s at the initial decision stage or during appeals.
  3. A backup plan if appeals rights are exhausted: Preparing for how they can be cared for if their asylum claim is denied and no other legal options are available.

These plans ensure that young people know they aren’t facing this journey alone and have guidance every step of the way.

New Resources to Help You Help Them
We’re thrilled to introduce a set of leaflets specially designed to help you explain triple planning to separated migrant young people. They’re clear, simple, and thoughtfully created to meet the needs of young people who may already be feeling overwhelmed.

To make sure these resources can reach as many people as possible, we’ve made them available in multiple languages.

A Quick Heads-Up
The translations for these leaflets were done using software, so while we’ve worked hard to make them accurate, there might be a few small hiccups. If anything seems unclear, please don’t hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification—we’re here to support you.

We hope these resources help you strengthen your connection with separated migrant young people, offer clearer guidance, and build trust as they navigate the asylum and migration process.
