In this webinar, we hear about Safeguarding Adult Reviews of people who were experiencing homelessness and get practical recommendations on what can be done to reduce harm and death

Deaths on the street rarely instigate formal review, but lessons must be learned for effective safeguarding and prevention.

Homeless Link's annual survey of homelessness sector support tracks changes in the nature and availability of services, the support needs and circumstances of the people accessing services, and opportunities and challenges for the sector.

The annual survey of services for people who at risk of homelessness shows an increase in demand for services, whilst the number of bed spaces is reducing. It highlights a growth in the number of people presenting with complex needs.

Presentation recordings & slides from the Outreach Learning Forum: a series of interactive, online sessions aimed at rough sleeping outreach workers, to increase knowledge of how to support individuals with complex needs. Topics covered include: learning disabilities, brain injury, self-neglect and mental health.

Local authority leads and snapshot estimate coordinators should follow this guidance in order to plan and execute their annual rough sleeping snapshot estimate, and have it verified by Homeless Link, ready for online submission to DLUHC no later than 8th December 2023.

A selection of case studies detailing how five grantees of the Homelessness Winter Transformation Fund 2021, used funding to transform their accommodation and support offer to people experiencing homelessness.
