Vulnerable young people have been placed in a caravan and an Airbnb in a “stark failure of the children’s social care system”, according to a new report.

Most children who are subject to High Court rulings that deprive them of their liberty are in appropriate settings such as children’s homes. However, many are in “highly unsuitable” accommodation, according to the Office of the Children’s Commissioner.
