Whether you are new to conducting age assessments or would like to refresh your previous training, our Age Assessment training courses will enable you to approach this work using up to date case law, best practice guidance and trauma-informed approaches. Through our innovative 6 step process we support practitioners to build confidence, increase their knowledge and skills, providing them with the tools they need to complete robust, case law compliant age assessments. Our age assessment training covers all aspects of the age determination process, from making decisions at initial points of contact, through to writing assessments that stand up to scrutiny.

The increase in UASC numbers across the whole of the UK, and the implementation of the National Transfer Scheme, has meant that more and more Local Authorities are caring for UASC as part of their day to day work. Although UASC, first and foremost are Looked After Children, there are additional needs that staff need to be aware of in order to effectively fulfil their obligations. Our online training course supports you to legally discharge these responsibilities, taking you from the triple planning process through to the final decisions on asylum claims. Our unique approach supports practitioners to undertake their practice in a way that promotes the safety of young people who become Appeals Rights Exhausted, by developing robust contingency plans.
