A child born in the UK will be issued with a birth certificate. This can be used as decisive proof of their date of birth and age. This is not always the case for children born outside the UK. They may have no identity documents. Even when they are in possession of a birth certificate, this may not be accepted as genuine and reliable. How, then, is their age determined?
The answer is: by carrying out an age assessment.
In this course we cover the purpose of age assessments, how they are carried out and how the outcome of an assessment can be challenged.
