• Explanation of special procedural guarantees for particularly vulnerable persons in accordance with EU Directive (2013/32/EU (Asylum Procedures Directive), in the case of unaccompanied minor asylum seekers, consideration and inclusion of multiple needs for protection,
• Child-friendly, therefore time-consuming preparation and follow-up of the asylum hearing: targeted preparation for the hearing enables the BAMF’s special representative for unaccompanied underage asylum seekers to carry out the hearing efficiently, qualitatively and in a focused manner to record the reasons for fleeing in the interest of the child’s well-being,
• Explanation of the positive/negative legal consequences of BAMF decisions,
• Explanation of possible legal remedies against (partial) refusals,
• Assistance in filing legal remedies (lawsuit and application for summary legal protection)
• Discussion of the legal situation with the project lawyer; if necessary, representation by a lawyer,

• culturally sensitive educational and family counseling,
• Advice and support for applying for help with education and obligations to cooperate (help plan procedures, integration aids, extended youth welfare for young adults).
