Today's Video Focus: An investigation has found that more and more young people are going
missing, from accommodation provided to support those in care. A Freedom
of Information request indicates the number missing from unregulated
homes has more than doubled in England and Wales in the past 3 years.
It's also been revealed that more than 60 children were found by
councils to have been sexually assaulted or exploited once they
returned. The Department for Education, who refused to be interviewed,
say councils have a duty to provide suitable accommodation.
