• Refugee youth and resettlement, by Elin Thorell, Centre for Refugee Research at the University of New South Wales
• Seeking asylum alone: A study of Australian law, policy and practice regarding unaccompanied and separated children, by Mary Crock (Assoc. Prof. and Assoc. Dean of Postgraduate Research at the Faculty of Law at the University of Sydney), published by Themis Press, is part of an international study being conducted in conjunction with Harvard University, and with researchers in the USA and the UK.
  
  That study is called, Seeking asylum alone: Unaccompanied and separated children and refugee protection in the US, UK and Australia, online at the University Committee on Human Rights at Harvard (with links to the reports for Australia, the USA and the UK as PDF documents).
  
  In a short article in the December 2006 edition of Australian Children's Rights News, Mary Crock gives an overview of her research on the experiences of 85 of the 290 unaccompanied children who arrived in Australia seeking asylum between 1999 and 2003. Crock identifies the need for 'an intensive intervention program targeting young people who came as asylum seekers -- together with the unaccompanied child refugees who continue to arrive under the offshore resettlement program'. Crock says that such a program ought to include appropriate literacy education, counselling and psychiatric care and mentoring into both skilled and unskilled occupations. She notes that securing a 'substitute family' is a key ingredient to all child refugee 'success stories' in Australia and New Zealand.
