An understudied aspect of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is the creation of hundreds of thousands of grandparent-headed households that have become home to children bereft of one or both of their parents. Such "skip-generation parenting" presents a host of challenges to the families involved and the social programs designed to assist them. Despite this unprecedented caregiving responsibility, older surrogate parents remain relatively invisible, hidden in the shadows of HIV care and the demands of raising a child. The primary goal of Invisible Caregivers is to generate, support, and guide program and policy initiatives designed to meet the needs of elder surrogates and their families. Most social service programs are not able to identify the needs of older surrogates, often because these surrogate parents in HIV-infected families are reluctant to make their needs known for fear of social stigma or possible reductions of benefits. Multiple systemic barriers to case management and other services also frustrate attempts to bring available resources to elder caregivers. These barriers include professional ignorance or denial that HIV affects surrogates, eligibility restrictions through CARE, limited funding and age restriction on OAA, and a fragmented health and human service system. Because the issues facing elder caregivers are many and varied, this collection covers a host of issues: community health, aging, HIV services, child welfare, education, public policy, and mental health.

The UK Border Agency and their predecessors have consistently generated a large number of complaints to the Ombudsman, not just in terms of the number of complaints received, but also the number of complaints accepted for investigation and the high proportion which are upheld. The complaints are mostly from people in this country who are facing long delays awaiting a decision on their application to the Agency. Applicants ought to be told what to expect and be safe and properly supported while awaiting a decision and that decision ought to be 'fast and fair'. Delays by the Agency in deciding such applications mean that people who should be given permission to stay are often left unable to support themselves and uncertain as to their future; and those who should be removed remain here, with their chances of eventually being allowed to stay increasing because of the Agency's delay. The Agency's biggest problem is the huge backlog of old asylum applications which has built up over a number of years, leaving hundreds of thousands of applicants waiting for years for a final decision. This report contains summaries of 11 cases which are illustrative of the complaints referred to the Parliamentary Ombudsman about the UK Border Agency. They involve applications for asylum; as well as the Agency's core immigration and nationality work, and applications for residence cards, which confirm rights under European law.
