I was struck when reading the @OCO_ireland #NoPlaceLikeHome report that many of the sleeping arrangements in hubs would be deemed overcrowding under s.63 of Housing Act 1966: 2 persons of different genders, over the age of 10 and not in a relationship, sleeping in the same room
I made this same point more than 10 years ago about #DirectProvision accommodation in the @flacireland 'One Size Doesn't Fit All' report: flac.ie/download/pdf/o…
The existing legislation for families experiencing homelessness is not child-centred nor child-friendly and must be amended to ensure that children's best interests are at the heart of decisions around where their family is accommodated #NoChild2020
No child should have to live like that even for a short time. They need their privacy as do their parents and siblings. #NoPlaceLikeHome really brings the reality of 'Family Hubs' to life and paints a very stark picture. Thanks @OCO_ireland for amplifying the children's voices
