This qualitative research explores the resettlement and integration experiences of Syrian refugee children and their families who are supported by Barnardo’s Northern Ireland Refugee Support Service. The findings reveal the importance of social connections and family relationships during resettlement. While participants describe positive experiences of resettlement and highlight the importance of Barnardo’s support, they often face trauma, difficulties with settling into school, racism, and language barriers.
