Imagine being a child forced to flee your home because of war. You may have seen your parents stressed, upset and scared, there may not have been an easy way to leave, you may have had to walk for many days, taken dangerous or uncertain journeys and been hungry for long periods. Once you arrive somewhere, you and your family will probably be feeling the effects of poverty, on reduced welfare benefits, living in temporary accommodation, possibly with frequent moves, be isolated, confused, subject to racism and harassment.
