Since autumn 2010, all local authorities have been required to submit an annual snapshot figure to MHCLG to indicate the number of people sleeping rough in their area on a ‘typical’ night between 1st October and 30th November.

In this new episode of the Going Beyond Podcast we speak to our Snapshot Estimates Project Manager, Viv Griffiths along with Jackie Kearney from Wyre Forest District Council. We discuss the different approaches, the purpose and benefits of the count, and share good practice in planning and delivery.

Listen below, or on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. And make sure you check out the full back catalogue of Going Beyond podcasts.
