Inclusive education for children with disabilities in a refugee camp
Children in refugee camps, and particularly those with disabilities, face unique challenges in accessing education and are at high risk of being marginalised. Best practices suggest that main-streaming is the optimal strategy for serving students with disabilities. This study examines the extent to which mainstreaming in a refugee camp helps to promote children's prosocial behaviours, taking into account their emotional and behavioural problems. …
Unaccompanied immigrant children in long‐term foster care
The Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 was developed with the goal of increasing the safety, permanency, and well‐being of children involved in U.S. child welfare systems. A growing number of unaccompanied immigrant children (UC) are being served in long‐term foster care (LTFC) under the auspices of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). UC are placed in care because an appropriate sponsor is not available pending immigration hearings. Yet…

This study examines factors associated with UC who reported education services as a primary PRS need. The sample is based on administrative data shared b…

Using a cross-sectional design, data were collected in the summer of 2016 from employees at twelve local directorates of the Ministry of Social Development (N = 237) in the West Bank.

ImmigrantRights #SWTwitterAdvocacy
The Trump administration’s immigration policies, over the course of four years, repeatedly conflicted with social work ethical principles, resulting in family separation and pervasive fear in immigrant communities throughout the US. The ethical principles of the social work profession are reflected in social work education competencies, including engaging in policy practice to advance justice. Using immigration policies as context, this paper pro…
Patchwork of promises
In 2014, the United States saw a greater than 50% increase in the number of unaccompanied children from Mexico and Central America arriving at the U.S./Mexico border, and unaccompanied children continue to migrate to the United States in consistent numbers. The dramatic increase of 2014 exposed gaps in policies aimed at supporting unaccompanied children as they await legal adjudication. This paper begins with a historic review of immigration poli…
Unaccompanied immigrant children in long term foster care
Testing the ‘overburdening’ hypothesis
Moving forward
Unprecedented numbers of unaccompanied children have migrated to the Southern border of the United States in recent years. Yet, little is known about how these children fare after arrival, including the few who are placed in the federally sponsored Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) foster care programme. Existing research suggests that unaccompanied refugee children, unaccompanied migrant children and foster children each face significant barrie…
