In the interim, while the services are trying to figure out all the stuff around the age assessment, is Safetynet suggesting that there be a third option for those whose age is disputed? Obviously it is not adult accommodation and it is not accommodation with relatively young minors, but some sort of in-between process where they are still treated as minors but with a question mark. They are not adults with a question mark. We seem to go in the other direction. Instead of treating them as minors who could potentially be slightly over the age of 18 or in their early 20s, we should be treating them as children with a question mark because the detrimental effect of treating them as adults with a question mark is problematic.
