No working toilets and zombie knives in 'vile' housing for kids

by Lucas

Young people have said they were placed in dirty, dangerous and unsuitable accommodation in Wales as children.

One 15-year-old girl said it was "dehumanising" having to use the toilet in a local McDonald's for months because her own was broken, while one young woman said she saw someone being threatened with a "zombie" knife in a hostel.

There are now calls for a complete overhaul of housing and homelessness guidance for children, following a report released by the Children's Commissioner for Wales.

The Welsh government said it was committed to increasing and improving housing stock and consulting with stakeholders about setting standards for social landlords.
