Councils in south-east England say they are often not
told when homeless families are sent to their areas by London boroughs who
cannot house them. Some say they are not given crucial information about
child-welfare concerns unless there were already formal child protection plans
in place. Many councils say they are not told how many such families are in
their patch, which is in breach of housing laws. More than 2,000 London
homeless families were placed outside the capital in 2015-16, according to
co-ordinating body London Councils - a threefold rise on the number three years
earlier. Read more on the BBC.
