There is an estimated 210,000 children in England that do not have a safe home, a report out today has suggested.

The Local Government Association (LGA) has warned that the ability of English councils to replace homes sold under Right to Buy ‘will all but be eliminated within five years’, unless the scheme undergoes major reform.
