Review :
'Anyone with an interest in this field will find both useful information and material for reflection which will assist in developing a deeper understanding and empathy for the children and young people...a very useful and recommended book for all those concerned with asylum-seeking children and young people.' - Raya Tibawi, Seen and Heard 'This book is a welcome addition to a field that still demands literature and an evidence base. Kohli and Mitchell, both well-known and respected names, have combined a collection of chapters that display the complexities involved in working with these young people.' - Raeli Bronstein, Children& Society
