OBJECTIVE
To collect information about the pre-flight experiences of unaccompanied asylum seeking children (UASC) in the UK to increase the understanding of support needed on arrival in the UK.
METHODS
Retrospective social services case file and legal statement review and semi-structured in-depth interviews with 100 UASC.
RESULTS
Nearly half of all UASC have experienced separation from or loss of parents and/or family members (47%), and a further 41% had personally experienced or witnessed violence. Sexual violence (such as rape) was reported by 24% of African girls. Many children reported complex journeys to the UK.
CONCLUSIONS
UASC arrive in the UK with a variety of potentially traumatic experiences. Whilst research is starting to identify some of the experiences of UASC, further culturally appropriate research is needed to identify their health and social needs after arrival. Further research will help to identify the specific experiences of UASC, indicating where services should be improved to deal with their complex and diverse needs.
目的
收集有关英国无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童（UASC）飞行前经历的信息，以增进对其抵达英国后所需支持的理解。
方法
回顾性审查社会服务案例档案和法律声明，并对100名无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童进行半结构化深度访谈。
结果
几乎一半的无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童经历过与父母和/或家庭成员分离或失去他们（47%），另有41%的儿童亲身经历或目睹过暴力。24%的非洲女孩报告遭受过性暴力（如强奸）。许多儿童称前往英国的旅程复杂。
结论
无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童抵达英国时有着各种潜在的创伤经历。虽然研究已开始识别无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童的一些经历，但仍需要开展更多符合文化背景的研究，以确定他们抵达后的健康和社会需求。进一步的研究将有助于识别无人陪伴寻求庇护儿童的具体经历，指明应在哪些方面改进服务以满足他们复杂多样的需求。
