    Brief

    The Home Office seeks qualified service providers to deliver essential support services for Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC) arriving in the UK. These services fulfil the Home Office's statutory duty under Section 55 of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 to safeguard and promote children's welfare. Services will support UASC upon arrival in Kent and other locations, meeting their immediate needs before transfer to local authority care. Providers will deliver intake assessments, orientation sessions, and information support to help UASC navigate the asylum process. Services operate collaboratively with the Home Office and partner organisations, delivered flexibly based on individual case requirements. Core service areas include: (1) Delivery of Services at Kent Intake Unit (KIU), and (2) Delivery of Orientation Sessions. Bidders should demonstrate capacity to provide culturally sensitive, trauma-informed support in a fast-paced environment with safeguarding as a priority.
