For every child. Acknowledgements This report was written by Ilona Pinter.

Crucially it was informed by a series of case studies of the young people and families supported by our projects.

I would also like to thank the staff who gave their time to help gather the case studies take part in the interviews helped to write and edit this report including professionals from other charities and community organisations who gave their advice and expertise. In particular I am grateful for the help provided by David Hounsell Enver Solomon Hannah Ward Anita Franklin and Marsha Lowe and staff from our services Aoife O Higgins Andrew Jolly Mohammed Shazad Agnieszka Walsh and Judith Shalkowski for their help with the case studies. I also appreciate the advice and support from Mike Kaye at Still Human Still Here and Judith Dennis at the Refugee Council. All the families and young people we interviewed shared with us their incredibly difficult but inspiring stories with the hope of helping to raise awareness of these important issues among the wider public. We know that many of their friends and others like them are still suffering in destitution and we hope this contribution will lead to lasting change in policy and practice to protect these young people. All children s names have been changed for the purposes of this report.
