NSPCC’s Response to 'Planning Better Outcomes and Support for
Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children'

Joint response to 'Planning Better Outcomes and Support for
Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children'
...This is a great opportunity to introduce a system of guardianship for
separated children seeking asylum
"...seek to persuade stakeholders that these children can be provided
with segregated services because the children themselves are different.
This is a dangerous assertion and does not reflect the professional
assessment of most statutory and voluntary agencies, which is that while
these children may have additional needs arising from their immigration
status they are children first and are no more a homogenous group than
any other group of children in need of state support and care.
It should not be the responsibility of the Border and Immigration Agency
(BIA) to make proposals relating to the assessment and care of
unaccompanied children.

[08] US - Refugee Roulette: Disparities in Asylum Adjudication
This study analyzes databases of merits decisions from all four levels
of the asylum adjudication process: 133,000 decisions by 884 asylum
officers over a seven year period; 140,000 decisions of 225 immigration
judges over a four-and-a-half year period; 126,000 decisions of the
Board of Immigration Appeals over six years; and 4215 decisions of the
U.S. Courts of Appeal during 2004 and 2005. The analysis reveals
significant disparities in grant rates, even when different adjudicators
in the same office each considered large numbers of applications from
nationals of the same country. In many cases, the most important moment
in an asylum case is the instant in which a clerk randomly assigns an
application to a particular asylum officer or immigration judge.
