(Picture: Google street view)Increasing numbers of lone child asylum seekers with complex needs are enrolling at London colleges and staff need extra support to help them, the head of a college group has warned.
The situation in Ukraine is exacerbating the problem by “triggering” young refugees in London and making their mental health problems worse, according to Sam Parrett, principal of London South East Colleges, which has eight campuses in south east London.
