Who says crime doesn't pay????

I had a woman in the office today with her two children who was fleeing domestic violence from temporary accommodation. The perpetrator was her husband. She had been admitted to the hospital over the weekend due to the assault she had suffered and the police were involved. Whilst we accommodated the family today, my problem is that the husband who assaulted her will continue to be accommodated in temporary accommodation as he was the person we initially accepted a duty towards, so all we can do is to move him to a smaller property

Can't you treat him as IH from the temp accom as he has been guilty of ASB and therefore discharge duty under 193?

Thats a good idea, think I'll run it by my boss and see what they think.
