Details
This report explores the experiences of children aged 16 and 17 when they present to their local authorities as homeless.
We wanted to find out whether the different options for these children were being properly explained and whether they were getting the support that they are entitled to. We also wanted to know if local authority social care and housing services were working together to offer children a joint response.
