The Scottish Government plans to introduce new homelessness prevention duties as part of a forthcoming housing bill. The new duties will allow people to get help earlier – up to six months before they are at risk of homelessness – and require public bodies to ask about someone’s housing situation and then act to get them help if needed.

At this homelessness prevention webinar we want to:

  • Share examples of existing practice & approaches within the health sector 
  • Learn more about new or innovative prevention practice in your area 
  • Understand what changes are needed to enable earlier intervention and better joint-working practice in anticipation of new duties on public bodies to prevent homelessness

We would particularly like to hear from: 

    • GP Practice staff (Including Community Link Workers and other embedded advice staff)
    • Social workers
    • Social Care Workers
    • Occupational Therapists
    • Health Visitors  
    • Hospital-based Staff (Such as Accident & Emergency staff, Administration/Discharge staff, Navigators/Peer Support workers)
    • Local Authority Homelessness/Housing Staff (Particularly those who liaise with social work/health professionals to support clients who are homeless/at risk of homelessness)
    • Third sector organisations working in partnership with health and social care services.
