Bridget Philipson Talked about his anger on the revelations of Weak child The taxpayer is being kept in squalid houses including a young man, including a young man, for the taxpayer at a cost of £ 75,000.
Education secretary Has talked to Independent Before the announcement of £ 53 million to make 200 high quality locations for children to live.
senior Minister I have vowed to end the practice of weak children to be sent to live in illegal houses including caravan and dirty beds.
He warned that the practice of sending children to “illegal housing” would be abolished.
This comes when the government has asked a commission to see child poverty in Britain and is under pressure from Labor MPs to eliminate two child benefits cap.
But the issue of children’s care is described as a national scam, in which the pressure councils struggling to find several places are being sent to live in squalid terms.
Ms. Philipson told The Independent: “For a very long, our weakest children have been rejected and forgotten, living in situations that any child should never experience from dirty beds to caravan.
“This government will never tease its duties for the safety of children, and I am firm to become champions for those who need our help and is capable of getting and flourishing every child.”
She moved forward: “This is beyond the new bed in new homes. In the first time, the government is listening to the most marginalized voices, and taking action to ensure that the right mental health assistance, medical, care and nutrition gives them opportunities that the rest of us to make something in life, and make something about themselves.
“Through our plan for change during this Parliament and for more than £ 2 billion investment, we will overcome the social care of children from the intervention of crisis and towards initial help, we are working with our magnificent social workers and professionals in the top and below partnership of the country.”
New security will come to the good of children and schools that will include homes to offer medical and care, and will be involved in health and social services to provide a new start in life to troubled youth.
It also comes because the initial intervention for the government councils is to further increase funding – already after doubling it from £ 250 to £ 500 million.
For the first time, the government has specifically targeted funding on children who have complex requirements that they are at risk, or deprived of their freedom.
These situations require additional support from social workers and care teams to run children from home and prevent themselves and others from harming them.
The new houses will break the obstacles for the opportunity by helping the complex behavior of these youth and helping mental health needs in a safe and stable environment.
In recent years, a sufficient reduction of placements to meet the needs of these youth has been kept in the housing which is being operated illegally, which is not registering with the TED.
The data of the Children’s Commissioner suggests that it also comes at an eye water cost for the council, which spends an estimated £ 440 million per year on unregistered placements. More than 30 placements cost over each £ 1 million – and in a world where private providers sometimes discontinued more than 20 percent placement cost for personal benefits.
With both special needs and mental health needs, a teenager told the commissioner that he was living in a caravan for two months at a cost of £ 75,000 outside his council area.
Children’s Commissioner Dame Rachel de Suja said: “This is an opportunity to abolish funding, and social care provisions of children’s good and school bills. It will increase the number of love, safe houses for this group of children-the needs are often immediate and complex-and should provide love, therapy to help these children.”
Paul Carberry, the chief executive in action for children, said: “It is important that children and young people with complex needs in a complex environment receive medical care. In recent years, many children have been kept in irregular, inappropriate housing due to significant reduction of placement in the system, sometimes with their health, safety and well -destructive consequences.

Another child said about his unregistered placement: “It was just a terrible Scroly Little Council House. It was an emergency placement […] My bedroom lights did not turn on, my door did not close ” – to deprive the child liberty order, 15.
A social worker expressed his disappointment in an attempt to find a placement for a child, who is currently waiting for the community to discharge in the community under being denied Liberty Order: “[The setting] Want to exclude him, and we want him out, but there is nowhere for him. I have talked to providers all over Britain but are nowhere for them. The provider comes back to us saying that they are worried that they are a threat to others; They are worried about staffing; He is worried about the medicine he is on; About DOL – they do not want to adapt the necessary to keep it safe. ,
