Original Note:
NNN - the accommodation given to asylum seekers is not fit for purpose. Even for underaged, unaccompanied children, it can be shared hostel rooms with no regard for safety. The original note implies accommodation is equivalent or similar to council housing - it is not. https://www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/jul/lone-children-seeking-uk-asylum-increased-risk-exploitation-home-office-hotels#:~:text=Several%20interviewees%20in%20the%20study,of%20sexual%20abuse%20and%20exploitation. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/children-asylum-seekers-age-assessments-home-office-uk-b1992680.html https://www.refugee-action.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Hostile-Accommodation-Refugee-Action-report.pdf
