Duty of Care Accommodation in Cardiff
We support councils and local authorities requiring accommodation for residents in Cardiff and the wider South Wales area affected by duty of care.
Duty of Care in Cardiff
Councils have duty-of-care responsibilities to ensure displaced residents are safely housed, requiring accommodation sourcing for vulnerable individuals and families.
Cardiff is Wales' capital city with a growing residential sector. The city's proximity to the River Taff and the Severn Estuary creates specific flood risks, while older housing stock in inner suburbs can be susceptible to fire and structural issues.
Temporary Accommodation During Duty of Care
Local authorities have legal responsibilities to ensure certain categories of displaced residents are provided with accommodation. This includes families with children, pregnant women, vulnerable adults and others who cannot secure their own housing.
Key Challenges
Duty-of-care placements must meet specific standards and be suitable for the household. Sourcing appropriate accommodation, particularly for families and those with accessibility needs, can be challenging in high-demand areas.
