With so much experience surprises had become a rarity but then in the summer of 2015 I was asked to take my first Asylum seeking Child. 16 year old boys were pretty much standard placements for me but this one came from Albania.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like to think that I am a fairly well educated person but back then if someone had asked me 5 facts about Albania I would be struggling to think of 2. It was a European country (but was not quite sure where in Europe exactly) and Albanians were unfortunately usually portrayed as the \u2018bad guys\u2019 in Hollywood movies. Culturally, ethnically, historically and geographically it pretty much drew a blank in my then 62 years of personal knowledge. I doubt that the majority of English people today know any more than I did then. In those early weeks of looking after young Ali my go-to resource was Google. The vast majority of Social Workers in my local Social Services in Bristol certainly had little if any knowledge that was of any use to me at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had to learn as I went along which is far from ideal and is the reason why almost 6 years on that I want to improve the resources available to young Albanians that arrive unaccompanied in the UK. It is only in the last 2 years that I have become aware of Shpresa and all the wonderful work that they do and the increasingly important impact that they are having on young Albanians lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally when they arrive as Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children the young Albanians are taken into the care system and placed in Children\u2019s Homes or with Foster Carers like myself. Getting used to their new world and coping with an uncertain future is incredibly difficult and becomes even more challenging as they fight for the right to remain in the UK. Winning the right to stay is harder for young Albanians than almost any other nationality and applications with the Home Office can take years as I have discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a very different challenge for me back then with all too few resources available to help a young man adjusting to a new life far away from everything he had ever known. Having to communicate entirely in a foreign language was just one of the challenges he faced. New people, new foods, a new culture and unsure who to trust. It was no surprise that he was initially reluctant to trust anyone at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Almost 6 years on I have learned so much which hopefully can help other Foster Carers. Ali now 21 is a Head Chef and one of the UK\u2019s finest young chefs. I hope that through Shpresa we can help more young Albanians in Care by supporting their Carers and helping them better understand the needs of Albanian children. Hopefully we can also encourage other people to become Carers because there is such a shortage of Foster Carers especially from the Albanian community here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking for myself I can say that looking after Albanian boys over recent years has been one of the most rewarding and satisfying experiences of my fostering career and I would encourage anyone who may be interested in helping young Albanians to consider becoming Foster Carers. There are plenty of young people who could benefit from your help and support.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JOHN STOKES (Foster Carer)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><b>SUPPORTING CARERS FOR YOUNG ALBANIANS<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of us as adults struggle to deal with the inflexibility of Government departments. Often it\u2019s difficult to understand the wording, descriptions, instructions and legal explanations even when it\u2019s written in our own language. Sometimes it can seem like it has been written in a foreign language. Imagine then how much more difficult it would be if you were a child with a very basic understanding of English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unless you\u2019ve had reason to deal with the Home Office it\u2019s difficult to explain or for you to understand the mental anguish and frustration that each Asylum Seeking Child has to cope with. The best analogy I can give from my experience is that it\u2019s like being the new kid in class trying to deal with the school bully. The more you try to explain the more it seems the bully doesn\u2019t listen and the more threatening he becomes. Yes and if that\u2019s how I have felt as a Foster Carer dealing with the Home Office then try to imagine how intimidating and frightening it is for every child that has to deal with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Carer it is so difficult to help the child when you have so little knowledge of the situation,or of Immigration Law and even of the child\u2019s rights as an Asylum Seeker. The majority of Foster Carers have little knowledge or experience of Immigration procedures. Most asylum seeking children will not have the benefit of having Carers or Social Workers that understand the complexities or difficulties of dealing with Immigration issues. Those with relevant knowledge and experience are few indeed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately Shpresa are making great efforts to fill the gaps in knowledge and support for those working with Albanian children in this dire situation. There is so much yet to do and so much more support needed for those of us helping the children. Listed here are a few of the main areas where more support is needed for Children and their Carers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\" aria-level=\"1\"><i style=\"\"><b>IMMIGRATION LAW ADVICE<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding a Solicitor to put together a claim for Asylum and\/or Leave to Remain is fairly straightforward. However finding a Solicitor that can give an Albanian Child a reasonable chance of success with the claim and subsequent court Appeals is another matter entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\" aria-level=\"1\"><i style=\"\"><b>LEGAL AID<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legal Aid in the Appeals process is often refused thereby further reducing the chance of success for the child.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\" aria-level=\"1\"><i style=\"\"><b>FOSTER CARER SUPPORT<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The typical Foster Carer or Social Worker will rarely have the Knowledge of what needs to be included in a strong Immigration Appeal let alone the ability to source that information. Unfortunately many Solicitors lack the relevant experience or knowledge of the complexity of Albanian claims (especially when limited by Legal Aid awards or even the total lack of Legal Aid)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\" aria-level=\"1\"><i style=\"\"><b>EXPERTS<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To have any reasonable chance of success the opinion of experts will be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts in Immigration Law.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experts (Psychologists, Mental Health professionals) who understand the effects of PTSD something which many young Asylum seekers experience.

Shpresa is currently developing a network of experts and support information for Carers and Social Workers to access for young Albanians and their Immigration claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"\" aria-level=\"1\"><i style=\"\"><b>SOCIAL ISOLATION<\/b><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social isolation for young Albanians in the care system can be another problem. In the big cities there can be significant Albanian communities but in other parts of the country they can feel very alone and isolated surrounded by people that have little if any knowledge of their culture,history and traditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many English people see young Albanians adapt to life here and often thrive in their new life but can forget how important their culture and heritage is to them. Becoming more English helps adapt (my eldest even has a strong Bristol accent) but identity is important to every child and young Albanians are a very proud people. In London Shpresa organises social events and youth groups which enable young Albanians to celebrate their heritage and culture. Hopefully the work that Shpresa already does can inspire other Albanian UK communities to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a Foster Carer I have been contacted from Carers across the UK caring for young Albanians facing the problems that I have mentioned.&nbsp; I hope that the Shpresa website can become a gateway for them to better understand the needs of those that they care for and the rich culture that they have come from. I hope that we can help give Carers an opportunity to share their knowledge, their experiences and wonderful stories of their young Albanians as well as a place of support for both them and their children.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
