🔢We used a wide range of evidence, including our own case data, displayed here. The Home Office's own data shows a growing inability to make decisions. We also used information from our survey of legal practitioners and social workers, and from @LohstP's research.
ALT Graphs showing an increase in wait times for children who have received asylum decisions and those who are still waiting, from 2019 to now. Also an increase in children we represent turning 18 before their asylum claim is decided, from 19% to 56% between 2020 and 2023.
