One employee, who worked at Rochdale Boroughwide Housing for six years, told Sky News: 'The culture was horrible. It was bullying, toxic for the employees. It's not fit for purpose at all.'

Two former employees of the housing association that managed the flat in which mould killed Awaab Ishak have claimed more people could die as they accused it of having a"toxic and bullying culture".Two years on from Awaab's death, Sky News witnessed a number of properties on the Freehold Estate in Rochdale, where the boy and his family lived, with severe mould and damp.

When Awaab's parents were complaining about the state of their mouldy and damp flat in 2017, Dave was working in the association's call centre. There is only one way to avoid another tragedy, Dave claimed."I definitely think there'll be more deaths due to the lack of repairs," he said.

Awaab Ishak: Rochdale housing boss's job is untenable, government saysGareth Swarbrick 'repeatedly ignored a family's pleas for help' over mould, a government source says. How many more children must die, heartbreaking, shouldn't be happening in this day and age 🙏 🙏 💔😪 If/when he resigns he will set himself up as a “ Consultant “. Social Housing is an incestious environment where CEOs all look after & recruit each other and board members turn a blind eye. He’ll be promoted to a Tory Sith Lord, double salary and off shore account.

Boss of housing association that owned mould-infested home where Awaab Ishak, 2, died is firedThe boss of the housing association that owned the mould-infested home that contributed to the death of Awaab Ishak has been fired, the organisation said. No arrest? No fines? He caused a known death and countless others and just walks away? Did he actually know anything about the issue or is he the sacrificial lamb. Seriously, what do you expect in Rochdale?
