12:39The father of a two-year-old boy who died from black mould in his social housing flat says he never wants anyone else to go through what his family did.
Awaab Ishak died in 2020 from a severe respiratory illness caused by prolonged exposure to the mould in his family's housing association flat in Rochdale, Greater Manchester.
A new law has now come into effect as a consequence of that case, requiring landlords to fix reported hazards in social housing more speedily and rehouse tenants in safe accommodation if necessary.
