Care-leavers 'in unsuitable homes'
Updated on 23 April 2007
One in six young people leaving care is being placed in unsuitable or unsafe accommodation because of "poor" local authority planning, according to a new report.
In some cases, vulnerable young people were put in danger by being placed in sub standard housing where they were harassed and bullied by other tenants.
The young people's charity Rainer, which is publishing the report, fears the future careers and well-being of many care leavers is being jeopardised by the problem.
