Report: Neurodivergent Kids in Housing Face Torture
The new report exposes a hidden crisis at the intersection of housing, childhood and neurodiversity
A new report has warned that neurodivergent children living in temporary accommodation across the UK are being subjected to conditions described as "comparable to torture", with families reporting chronic sensory distress, instability and unsafe housing environments.
The report make a number of recommendations, including incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into UK law.
Co-author Professor Katherine Brickell said the findings reveal a system fulfilling a basic legal duty while failing children in practice.
