Guidance for Schools: Safeguarding Children and Young People from a Forced Migration Background (asylum seekers and refugees)
Education settings have a legal duty to safeguard all children, including asylum seekers and refugees.
Pupils from forced migration backgrounds may have experienced trauma, displacement, poverty, uncertainty around immigration status, language barriers, and hate-related incidents, which can create additional safeguarding needs.
This guidance outlines key considerations and practical steps to help schools provide inclusive and effective safeguarding support.
