Nearly half forced to move children to new schools or spend hours a day commuting to old one, Shelter says
Nearly half of families who are placed in temporary housing when they become homeless are forced to put their children into new schools or spend several hours a day taking them to and from their current school, according to new research.
The disruption caused by being placed miles from their original home harms children’s academic performance and emotional wellbeing, according to the study by Shelter, the housing charity. Over a third of children have missed more than a month of school after being placed in temporary accommodation.
