X-ray and MRI scans of asylum seekers’ teeth and bones
Ultimately, X-rays of wisdom teeth, hand and wrist bones, and MRI scans of knee bones and the collar bone, should be used alongside existing social worker-led age assessments – despite the Government criticising the existing process as time consuming, challenging and expensive, the advice said. arguing this would stop “single grown adult men masquerading as children” in an “abuse” of the asylum system.
The report said: “There is no method, biological or social worker-led, that can predict age with precision therefore, biological assessment of age should consider whether the age claimed by the UASC is “possible” rather than be used to answer the specific question of how old that person is or whether they are under or over 18 years of age.”
