Description

Thousands of unaccompanied children arrive in the U.S. each year. For a small number of especially vulnerable children -- about 1% in FY 2015 -- the Department of Health and Human Servicesäó» (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) provides an independent child advocate to develop safety and well-being recommendations to stakeholders, such as immigration judges. This report reviewed the child advocate program. It examines (1) the extent to which ORR increased the number of program locations; (2) the extent to which ORR that ensured vulnerable children received advocate services; and (3) the programäó»s benefits and challenges. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
