Scotland: Site for refugee workers launched

Professionals working with young refugees in Scotland will be able to access information on education, accommodation, fostering and adoption through a new web site launched last week.

The Caris (Child Asylum and Refugee Issues in Scotland) site, developed by Save the Children and the University of Glasgow's Centre for the Child & Society, is aimed at clarifying how Scottish law interacts with asylum and immigration legislation passed by Westminster.

The site also has material for young refugees and their parents, and is translated into Somali, Urdu, French and Arabic.

Professor Malcolm Hill, director of the Centre for the Child & Society, said expertise on refugee and asylum issues had been "generally low and fragmented".
