In 2015 and 2016, more than 40,000 foreign children and young people were taken into care by the youth welfare offices in Germany due to their unaccompanied entry. This poses a particular challenge for the youth welfare system in terms of expertise and resources. The speakers will report on their practical experience in the field of unaccompanied minors (UMA). The subject matter will be the legislative changes of recent years in residence and asylum law, the age assessment procedure, the distribution of unaccompanied minors in Germany, assistance for young adults and their social situation.

Moderation: Nicola Behrend (Judge at the Federal Social Court)

 

Speaker: Dr. Björn Harich (Vice President of the OVG Bremen) and Sabine Scherer (Head of the Youth Department, Kassel district)
