Freedom of Information Request - Christmas temporary accommodation data request
Dear North Lincolnshire Council,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding children in temporary accommodation.
I would like to know the following:
1. How many children (Under 18) were living in temporary accommodation on the 25th December 2023?
- If exact records for this date are not available, please provide the most recent data close to this date.
2. How many of these children were 15 years of age at the time?
3. Since January 2020, what is the longest a child (under 18) has had to live in temporary accommodation before being placed in permanent accommodation?
- Please specify the date range if the exact start and end dates are known.
4. What is the average duration that children (under 18) have been spending in temporary accommodation before securing permanent housing?
Please provide definitions or clarifications for any terms or categories used in your response, especially regarding “temporary accommodation” (e.g., whether it includes B&Bs, hostels, or other placements).
If you are unable to provide some of the requested data, please outline the reasons and an expected timeframe for availability.
Thank you for your attention to this request.
Yours faithfully,
