It’s unsustainable and as a member of Households in Temporary Accommodation APPG I submitted the following question to the Minister. 👇 Answer here: margaretmullane.co.uk/post/written-p…

"There has to be better notification. " - @siobhainmcdonagh The Government supports the need for a statutory notification protocol that would require local authorities to alert schools and GPs when a child is placed into TA and will look into finding the best way to implement it.

The impact that temporary accommodation has on children's health and education can be life-changing. This report from Becky Johnson shows that more cross-departmental work is needed. We hope ministers take notice and act urgently.

In her statement, Florence Eshalomi MP addressed the need for better data collection and sharing, to fully understand the health and educational impacts of child homelessness. The Housing, Communities & Local Government Committee's report recommends a formalised notification system, as campaigned for by our SAFE Protocol.

As a member of the APPG for Temporary Accommodation, I’ve been pushing for notifications to be made to schools & GPs when a household is in temporary accommodation. This step is vital to keep vulnerable people safe, especially children, and protect families’ well-being

Thank you to everyone who attended the launch of Citizens UK & Trust for London’s new report on the crisis in temporary accommodation. It was inspiring to hear the powerful lived experience testimonies and discussion on how the report’s recommendations can be turned into reality.
