The Court of Appeal has laid down detailed guidance governing how local authorities must consider requests by homeless applicants for temporary accommodation pending the outcome of a section 202 review (see R v Camden LBC ex p Mohammed (1997), CA)

In appropriate cases councils must also consider:

• the duty to safeguard and promote the welfare of children, and
• the public sector equality duty.

This letter provides a template which helps you to ensure that a refusal of accommodation pending review addresses all those matters that you're obliged to consider.
