We accept emergency, short, medium and long term placements of UASC 16+ via any UK local authority depending on vacancies at Enthum House.

What is our placement process at Enthum House?

At Enthum House, we welcome Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children aged 16+ for emergency, short, medium, and long-term placements through any UK local authority, subject to availability.

All emails and phone messages receive prompt responses. We strive to make placement decisions on the same day, but the process may involve meeting the young person, taking 24-72 hours.

Our admission panel, comprising the Enthum House Manager, a member of the Enthum Foundation senior management team, and if needed, a translator, assesses each referral. This collaborative process with the placing authority ensures alignment with the young person's needs and considers potential risks.

Young individuals referred must be deemed 16+. In cases where there's limited information, the placing social worker is relied upon for the initial judgment regarding age, history, and needs.

Professionals or those considering a visit, either with a young person or independently, are encouraged to get in touch.
