I am afraid to say that in this day and age the council will not consider anything or anyone when it comes to getting you moved.
My best mate has four boys and lives in a two bed and her eldest is 15 in high school going through puberty and still has to share a room with three other brothers. No matter what she does the council will not move her as she is too big a family to move into a three bed and there are not that many four beds out there and even still some of them only state that they can have 5 people.
My other mate has her eldest a girl who is 13 then the next is a boy who is 11 then she has a boy of 3 and a girl of 1.5 and she too is in a two bed........
I was once in a one bed with one child then had my second who was the same sex which meant I would never get moved into a bigger property, so I wrote letters to this one that one everyone I thought I could as often as I could and even got in touch with my MP at the time who was a tremendous help to me, after months and months of letters, I got an offer of a two bed and was very satisfied. So all them months of letters paid off in the end.
I found phone calls a waste of time as I kept getting passed form department to department.

The legal definition of statutory overcrowding sets an age limit of 10. Many councils have adopted a limit of 8 when assessing the size of social housing for which families qualify.

There is no law against family memebers sharing a bedroom. In fact, there is no law against ANYONE sharing a bedroom.

If you mean you have kids and you want to know if they should share a bedroom, then most kids when they hit puberty would prefer their own room. Putting a pubescent brother and sister in the same bedroom will only encourage sexual experimentation between them. Are you comfortable with that?

I think the laws or 'recommendation' is different for each state, but i think the majority is when one reaches the age of 8, unless the other is under the age of 5. So if you have a 8 year old and a 4 year old it's fine, but if they are 6 and 8 then it's recommended that they each have their own room. I think it's your local home and health services that could provide you with the best answer though. Best of luck!

There are no legalities or age limits - If anyone has any funny thoughts about their sister they need help, otherwise there should be no problems till you can get a bigger property.
About the privacy aspect you could always change in another room.
Respect and love your sisters - they are very special people.

Your son can't share together with his uncle and that i think of the age is 11. Up till that factor infants basically count variety as 0.5 a individual. i could get onto the council and get a much bigger homestead. you have from what I comprehend 7 human beings on your place. truthfully argue the factor with them.

It appears there is no law but most coucils will upgrade if there isnt enough bedrooms when one child is 10. Other than that it appears to be the parents choice.

in my county in Michigan, the child welfare dept wants sexes separated at 6 months. but in my family i think we were about 7 or 8 years old before i got put in the same room as my older sisters. i don't think there is actually any laws that require separation.
