Landlords of a property where toddler Awaab Ishak died due to horrific mould saw refugees as 'lucky' to have a home, a report has found.
Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) had a culture of "othering" which saw staff hold prejudices and "lazy assumptions" about asylum seekers and refugees, the Housing Ombudsman said.
Its special investigation into the association, which came after the death of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, discovered a "wholly unacceptable" attitude among some staff members. It said there was a pattern of "exclusion and marginalisation" based on different identities.
