Quality of Temporary Accommodation

ismail made this Freedom of Information request to Newham Safeguarding Children Board
This authority is not subject to FOI law, so is not legally obliged to respond (details).
This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

Waiting for an internal review by Newham Safeguarding Children Board of their handling of this request.

Dear Newham Safeguarding Children Board,

We have been provided with a temporary accommodation by Children's and Young people services in Newham. We are living in the house since nearly 2 months.

However the house provided contains mice, cockroaches, spiders and other insects. We have three children of 5 years, 3 years and 2 months respectively.

The children are scared of the mice/insects/snails and despite complaining to the social worker, no action has been taken. Instead, cockroaches sometimes have been found on the new born baby.

Please note that the accommodation is overcrowded with 5 people in our family.

My question is:

1. what is the statutory guidance about the existing minimum standards for your temporary accommodation provided to children?

2. What is the policy related to children's services when such complaints have been made?

3. what is your duty towards the Section 55 Act?

4. What is the policy regarding children in your borough?

Yours faithfully,

Mrs ismail
