Mouldy homes: Deaths ‘could happen again’
Two-year-old Awaab Ishak died in 2020 after prolonged exposure to mould in the house his parents rented from a housing association.
The housing ombudsman for England Richard Blakeway tells Niall Paterson on the Sky News Daily how he fears there could be more deaths if damp and mould in homes isn’t addressed urgently.
Niall also hears from a mum with three young children, one now with respiratory issues, living in a home with bad mould, about the ways it is impacting their health.
