Rachel de Souza, the children's commissioner for England, highlighted the shocking trend, noting that half of the children under deprivation of liberty (DoL) orders are placed in unregistered or illegal accommodations.
A government-backed assessment revealed that at least 1,000 vulnerable British children face DoL orders, with a doubling of applications from 2021, highlighting an alarming trend.
Sir Andrew McFarlane, president of the family division, supports a complete overhaul of children’s care provision to address the alarming rise in unregistered placements.
The inadequate care placements are costing taxpayers significantly, with some children’s care exceeding £1 million a year, showcasing the urgency of reform in the system.
