In our latest podcast we speak with UNICEF's Brendan Ross, a Child Protection Manager with UNICEF's office in Somalia who worked with the Office of Research to commission research on what drives children to migrate and what the realities of their experiences are before, during and after migration. This is exploratory and first-of-its kind research is the first of a multi-phase study to investigate child migration in order to help inform better child protection programmes, legal safeguards and systems. We discuss the first phase of this research with Brendan, how it started and where it's going in our new podcast.
