Rachel
Larkin
Dr Rachel Larkin is Assistant Professor in Social Work. Her research explores state responses to children and young people in forced migration and how this relates to professional frameworks and commitments to social justice and human rights. She has a particular interest in girlhood and how gender and sexuality impact the experiences of young migrants in social work services.
Rachel has held frontline and leadership roles in social work, in statutory, voluntary and health settings. She has rich experience of statutory safeguarding services and children who are 'looked after' in state care, including unaccompanied minors claiming asylum and families affected by immigration processes. Her research knowledge and 28 years of practice experience make her ideally placed to help social work agencies, and related professionals, consider and develop their responses to child and youth migration.
