“…Pendant le processus d'intervention, plusieurs chercheurs (Kohli, 2007;Hopkins et Hill, 2010;Wade, 2011) soulignent l'importance de considérer la spécificité de la situation de chaque enfant et surtout, étant donné l'hétérogénéité du groupe, de tenir compte de l'expérience prémigratoire qui aura un impact sur l'identité, les besoins, les comportements et la perspective qu'ont les jeunes de leur situation, tributaire des difficultés d'intégration vécues dans le pays d'accueil (Wade, 2011). Dans cette perspective Wade (2011) suggère une approche davantage centrée sur le jeune où l'intervenant est à l'écoute des besoins spécifiques de chacun.…”

“…Dans cette perspective Wade (2011) suggère une approche davantage centrée sur le jeune où l'intervenant est à l'écoute des besoins spécifiques de chacun. À l'arrivée du jeune, les intervenants se concentrent sur l'information de base par exemple : l'âge, l'année de scolarité, la santé, le nombre de frères et soeurs, etc., et ont tendance à attendre que le jeune soit installé et que sa situation soit plus stable avant de poser des questions plus complexes sur le passé et les raisons de l'exil (Wade, 2011). Dans ce sens, Hopkins et Hill (2010) expliquent qu'il faut comprendre les priorités des besoins du jeune dans un continuum temporel : répondre aux besoins immédiats ; aux besoins associés au futur, ce qui inclut les besoins socioculturels tels que le sport, les loisirs, les groupes d'entraide, les groupes religieux, etc., avec comme objectif de créer un réseau social et de lier de nouvelles amitiés ; en dernier lieu, aborder le passé.…”

Dans le cadre d’un stage international de maîtrise réalisé à Grenade, Espagne, nous avons eu l’occasion de nous pencher sur la problématique des jeunes mineurs non accompagnés et de repenser le rôle du travailleur social dans un contexte de crise économique avec une population vulnérable. La question des mineurs se pose avec beaucoup d’acuité pour les travailleurs sociaux de divers pays d’Europe à l’heure actuelle, surtout si l’on considère l’impact des mesures d’austérité dans tous les domaines des politiques sociales du social. Le présent article documente cette expérience de stage et soulève des questions pour la pratique du service social qui sont valables tant pour le Québec que pour d’autres sociétés où de plus en plus les populations immigrantes se voient reléguées à une position marginale dans les sociétés d’accueil.This paper discusses an international field placement at the Master’s level that occurred with unaccompanied minors in Granada, Spain. The experience allowed us to rethink the role of the social worker in a context of economic crisis with a vulnerable population. The issue of unaccompanied minors is an important one for social workers at the present time in different countries of Europe, especially considering the impact of austerity measures in all domains of social life. This article documents this field experience and raises questions for social work practice that are valuable as much for Québec as for other societies where increasingly migrant populations are being relegated to the margins of the host society

“…Unaccompanied asylum seekers who are in care as minors approach adulthood in difficult circumstances in the face of possible deportation (Wade, Sirriyeeh, Kohli, & Simmonds, 2012). Our 2015 work found health as traditionally conceived was rarely at the top of young people's agenda, even for those with serious or chronic health problems.…”

This paper explores the priorities of young people who arrived in England or Sweden as unaccompanied minors and are leaving the care of the state to transition to adult life. Policy and practice for these young pe ople are themselves in transition in Europe, and we aim to contribute to the slender first person qualitative evidence base for those delivering services. Our methods comprised a scoping review of scholarly and grey literature, and group and individual interviews. Despite a commitment in both countries to listening to the voices of young people, we identified few studies representing the voices of unaccompanied care leavers. In both the literature and our interviews, health in a clinical sense was rarely among their priorities. Their accounts focused on the determinants of health, and in particular housing, education, food and employment. In Sweden, where services are universal rather than targeted, the Health and Social Care Board (Socialstyrelsen) notes the paradox of unaccompanied children being surrounded by adult supporters, none of whom takes overall responsibility for the young person and his/her everyday life. Those we spoke to describe the vital role played by foster carers, health and social care professionals and friends that they could rely on. The young people whose narratives appear in the research literature and those in our own sample are working hard to cope with multiple transitions and to manage health in its widest sense, whether by finding the right place to live or attending to their education or training.

“…Dental x-rays can be used. (…) the parliamentary report into the care of migrant children expresses concern that "funding pressures could be incentivising local authorities to assess children either as adults, or as older than would otherwise be the case," because of the huge costs involved-last year, in Kent alone, £14m was spent caring for these children (…) Children who arrived without their parents were the responsibility of local authorities and, accordingly, there was a considerable body of literature on "unaccompanied minors" and on how to do social work with child asylum seekers in the UK (Kohli 2006;Wade 2011). Much less was known about the children in asylum seeking families in the UK: known as "dependants," they had no separate asylum cases, and constituted no separate category in Home Office statistics.…”
