Background:

The report sought agreement to adopt a new Temporary Accommodation Placement and Suitability Policy. The policy itself would provide transparency and structure to the way that the Council provided temporary accommodation with a view to ensuring compliance and minimising legal challenge.

A Diversity Impact Assessment had been undertaken and was attached at Appendix 3 to the report.

Reasons:

The policy provides clarity and transparency in the way that the Council provides temporary accommodation.

Having and following a transparent policy will mitigate the risk of legal challenge.
