Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC)

When you reach 18, things start to change - but you’re not alone.

If you came to the UK on your own to seek safety, your journey continues with support to help you move into adulthood. You’ll get help with:

• planning your future
• sorting out your immigration status
• figuring out what’s next - like education, work, or living independently 

If your asylum claim is still being decided, or if it’s refused, we’ll help you to understand your options. 

It’s all about making sure you feel safe, supported, and ready for whatever comes next.

Useful information

The Coram Voice website can help you understand and translate important words that may be used during your claim for asylum.
