START OF ASSESSMENT
Begin the assessment by introducing yourself and your colleague. Introduce the interpreter (if used) and check language.
Read the following statements:
*
We have an interpreter here so that we are able to talk and understand each other. Can you confirm that the language and dialect are correct and that you understand the interpreter? Yes/No
The purpose of this interview is to meet you and assess your age so that you can be provided with appropriate support. This will take about three hours and we will take a break during that time.
We have to ask you questions that you may find upsetting. If at any time you would like a break or want us to stop please tell us.
We are from Children's Services and we provide support for unaccompanied young people. Our responsibility is to ensure that appropriate services are provided for your needs.
It is important that you understand that we are not from Immigration and we have no power over any decision they make about your case.
During the assessment we will be taking notes from which we will write our report. A copy of that report will be made available to UKBA. The full report will not be shared with other agencies without your written consent.
Are there any questions you would like to ask?
Yes/No (record any questions and responses)
Do you understand the purpose of this assessment?
