Acerca de Baobab Talks

The Baobab Centre for Young Survivors in Exile runs a non-residential therapeutic community for unaccompanied young asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. We work with young people who have been separated from their families and who have experienced child and adolescent specific human rights abuses. As part of our outreach work, we organise regular talks on topics of interest to the wider refugee-protection community with well-established experts in the field, which we distribute to the wider public whenever we can. Please email us for information about our next talk.

Baobab Talk Series: "Towards a UNCRC-Compliant Asylum System in the UK: New Ideas for Better Practice" - Part 1 - 11 June 2025

This event explored the UK’s legal obligations toward unaccompanied asylum seeking children (“UASCs”) in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Our expert panel discussed fresh perspectives and practical proposals for embedding children’s rights at the heart of the UK asylum and social care systems. Dr Ruth Brittle highlighted the lack of compliance with the UNCRC within the UK asylum system and suggested ideas of what it might look like if the UNCRC was at the heart of the system - a reimaging of the UK Asylum system with a children's right approach at its core. Rabia Nasimi shared her perspective on adopting a user-needs based approach to the protection and support of unaccompanied minors. Drawn from lived experience and frontline engagement, she underlined key needs that are often overlooked in policy and practice.

Baobab Talk Series: "Age Assessments: in the best interests of children?" - 14 June 2023

The Baobab Centre is happy to share a recording of the panel it organised on 14 June 2023 in London with three panelists invited to discuss UK Asylum Age Assessment processes, their planned evolution -- within the framework of best interests of children. After a brief introduction from Sheila Melzak (Director of the Baobab Centre), the recording features Prof. Tim Cole (UCL), Nick Lessof (NHS), and Syd Bolton (Methoria), to discuss the issues through three lenses: a scientific approach (how reliable can age assessments be? Slides for Prof. Cole's presentation are available here [https://drive.google.com/file/d/15e4_VIShVQLeCR5ntJqnyKHBSdAeBQhp/view?usp=sharing]), a paediatrician's approach (how can doctors help safeguard children during age assessments. Slides from Dr. Lessof's presentation are available here [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jlrtycsGkSvZz9DTYuguiPxMurNVUoXt/view?usp=sharing]), and a solicitor's approach (can age assessments ever be in the best interests of a child?). Their interventions are then followed by a comment from Karen Goodman (ISW) on the implication of social workers in the age assessment process, and a short Q&A.
