Impact of Brexit on Children and Family Services

Pauline Bird

Brexit will happen, in one way or another, although further delays have occurred. This paper attempts to pull together what is feared, what is known and what the impact might be for services serving children and young people in UK.

The EU has enacted over 80 legal instruments that confer direct entitlement for children in the UK covering issues such as migration, asylum, child protection, health and safety, paediatric medicine, access to social and economic rights and cross-border family breakdown. In one way or another Brexit is likely to have an impact on all of these.
