Temporary accommodation in England is ‘torture’ for neurodivergent children, report finds

Exclusive: Parents said their children had become withdrawn or hypervigilant because of uncertainty, unsafe environments and removal of support

Advicenow has joined 291 charities & legal bodies in a powerful statement in support of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR is a vital tool for democracy, enabling ordinary people to hold public bodies accountable for failures (like Hillsborough and Windrush). Let’s defend it.

'You've got to treat children equally… You don't tell a child who's the third child, you're gonna have half the time at school. You don't tell them that the fourth child is going to have a third of the time.' - Gordon Brown on scrapping the two-child limit for all kids.

It’s just over two weeks now till the budget. Every night, parents in poverty are lying in bed, unable to sleep, worrying about how to pay essential bills. This can and must be changed. Ending the two-child limit & benefit cap is the right (indeed only) place to start m.youtube.com/watch?v=94fq...

Finally! Whilst you can still be served a section 21 eviction right now, once the law is implemented it will be illegal! This is amazing news for renters.

The Renters’ Rights Act is NOW LAW! Soon S21 evictions, which have forced millions of people out of their homes for no reason & with just 2 months notice, will be a thing of the past. This is what our movement can achieve when we stand together.
