Thank you to everyone who attended our fringe event at the Conservative Party Conference on Sunday 5th October.
It was very positive to share and hear experiences, best practice and ideas on how we can all work to improve the outcomes for children living in temporary accommodation
We are hopeful that in an opposition government, the Conservatives can support the health and education of homeless children in temporary accommodation.
The implications of Temporary Accommodation on children’s lives are far-reaching, with negative impacts on health and education, including an increased risk of child mortality. Our report, “Children Living in Temporary Accommodation: An Absolute Scandal”, exposes that living in Temporary Accommodation can violate thirteen articles of the United Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
