Young people over the age of 16 are increasingly being placed in homes not designed to provide care but instead offer support 鈥� known as semi-independent living.
The 大象传媒 has learned more than a dozen investigations into so-called organised or complex abuse allegations have been launched by councils across the UK into failures to protect children over the last four years.
The Department for Education says: "Councils have a legal duty to make sure accommodation for these children is suitable".
The 大象传媒's Noel Titheradge and Ed Thomas have this report.
