Bed poverty an issue for several years, says director of sixth form
Ensuring students who are sofa surfing stay in education is vital.
That's from the director of sixth form at Ballakermeen High School, who says bed poverty has been an issue for a number of years.
The school has a teacher dedicated to pastoral care, and provides free school meals to those who don't have permanent accommodation.
Richard Karran says there are a number of reasons why students end up without a home:
Island warned to expect heavy rain this afternoon
Yellow weather warning is now in force
Jurby landowner working with planning and Bus Vannin on future shelter provision
Resident's proposal to convert shelter into storage approved
'We wouldn’t have it any other way’
Support your child's dreams say biker mums
Ramsey Tesco to 'open as normal' following incident
Officers confirm 'all enquiries relating to the area are now complete'
What do you think of pharmacy services on Island?
