Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children
Welcome to the UASC section of the Wokingham Virtual School website. This section of the website contains several resources for professionals who are working with unaccompanied asylum seeker children and information for the young people themselves. This includes information on the UK education system in a range of languages and the VS handbook, which is designed to support professionals, especially those in education settings, working with this group of young people to help them succeed educationally. We would like to thank Barnet Virtual School for their generosity in sharing resources with the virtual school network.
