Solace are delighted to be delivering the census for a third year. This year’s census will take place 23rd September - 29th September 2024.

As part of the census, Solace ask that outreach teams plan and deliver gender-informed shifts during the census week on which they can conduct a short survey with women they see. They also ask that outreach teams attend a local census data meeting after census week. 

Guidance is available to support outreach teams to plan and deliver their gender-informed shifts. This session will talk through the guidance and how your team can be involved.

Who is this session for?

This session is for outreach teams and workers who are interested in taking part in the census this year, and volunteers joining outreach shifts. You might be a commissioned service, a specialist service (e.g. women's, drug and alcohol. health or sexual health outreach), or a community group, but you deliver outreach shifts and work at least occasionally with women who are rough sleeping.

The training will cover:

- Information about and background to the census

- Women’s homelessness and rough sleeping

- How to deliver census outreach shifts

- Conducting gender-informed outreach

- How to contribute to the census data meeting

This session will be recorded and uploaded to the census webpage.
