Awaab's Law: Sign our petition to ensure no other child dies from damp and mouldy social housing

The Manchester Evening News has launched a petition calling for a new law to prevent any more children dying from damp and mouldy social housing.

It comes after the shocking and harrowing death of little Awaab Ishak, who died in 2020, after mould and damp was left untreated at his Rochdale home for years.

Awaab's Law would compel housing associations not to allow any other child, or anyone else, to live in the uninhabitable conditions like the toddler suffered for so long. You can sign the petition here.
