This free, one-day conference, jointly organised with Birkbeck, University of London, aims to bring together young activists, academics and practitioners to share empirical and theoretical knowledge and tactics to understand how to advocate and organise around justice for young immigrants. Participants will have an opportunity to engage with the issue of precarious citizenship, which affects significant numbers of young people settled in the UK (some 120,000) who do not have British citizenship, and to work collaboratively and creatively to link advocacy around justice for young im/migrants to anti-racist and other progressive movements in the UK and elsewhere.

This one-day conference, organised with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health is for anyone with an interest in the subject of unaccompanied, asylum-seeking children. It is a knowledge-sharing, discussion-based event bringing together professionals from the health sector, education; social care; the legal system; the public sector; the voluntary sector, and other government agencies, to encourage integrated working. The summit will bring a wide range of delegates together to ask vital questions, such as: How do we work together to respond? What are the most effective ways to implement existing policies, standards and guidance in the real world? Who else is out there for help and support?
