Our Services: Age Assessment Disputes – Community Care

We are able to support children and young people whose age is being disputed by social services.

Unfortunately, it is very common for those who are under 18 and who arrive in the UK seeking asylum to be subjected to an age assessment by social services and for social services to decide that the young person is older than the age that they are claiming to be.

We are able to assist young people who wish to challenge an age assessment conducted by social services, including by challenging the age assessment in the High Court, if appropriate.

Age Assessment Disputes Expertise

Our expertise in acting for this vulnerable category of children and young people includes acting for those in detention and for victims of trafficking.

We accept age assessment dispute referrals from all sources and are happy to talk through the issues informally first before accepting a formal referral.

Funding an age assessment claim?

We are able to apply for legal aid to fund age assessment dispute cases. (Find out more about Legal Aid here)
