The Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS), assesses the health and safety risks in all residential properties. If a property is found to contain serious (category 1) hazards, the local authority has a duty to take the most appropriate action. We expect local authorities to use these powers which provide an important safety net, ensuring that homes are safe and decent.</p><p>DCLG publishes regular statistics, which includes the number of children in temporary accommodation.
