social housing rules, does anyone know?

Anyone out there who knows? Can council give a Flat to a 16-17 year old male (not pregnant!) without a parental consent or guarantor?

Ie "I'm homeless, I've been abused, now have nowhere to live." Parents are not interview or questioned, minor is given a flat


Friend might be looking for a lawyer in the matter too, so if anyone can help I'll be very grateful.

I couldn't say but this happen'd to a friend of mine back in 1987, I let him stay at mine place until he decided to join the RAF... he's still in and loving it.

precisely, this was 2 years ago. parents not informed or questioned about anything, council when asked chucked the wall of privacy laws.

from 12 GCSE, six form to 5k debts smoking and dealing drugs in 2 years.
Ye pee, lets embrace the do gooders

I thought they still might still be classed as a minor untill their 18th Birthday.
I very much dought the council would give them a flat. and I believe social services will get involved too.

as for the parents... have the police been involved yet?
also instead of a lawyer PM Ed as hes a solisitor, and might be of more valuable help.

Their parenting skills aren't going to be improved by sueing someone now are they?

Sorry, I think I've have hold of the wrong end of the stick.

the problem in the matter was that, they wanted to be interviewed by the police and the social services and anyone else, but weren't. instead no one could say why the council flat was given or why they were not questioned if all this abuse was mentioned.

the trouble is the boy is coming of the rails now and has no respect for anyone, got sacked from jobs stall parents credit cards, council said he's now an adult and if he won't pay for his flat he's on his face.

They saying it was easier for the council to give a flat then to interview the parents, hence exposing the lies of the son, who only wanted to be with his GF and didn't care how he got there
