Children are taken into care so the state can protect them. But Newsnight has heard from children who were taken into care and then placed in a home where they say they were desperate for food and two say they weren't even provided with a duvet.

They were living in so called “supported accommodation” – a type of unregulated home.

In our latest report on Britain’s Hidden Children’s Homes our social affairs editor, Katie Razzall, investigates one home run by a company that was paid huge sums to look after those children.

Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
