Clinks and Homeless Link are working together in partnership to deliver this online event which will outline the new SDS40 policy that the Government has introduced and the impact that it will have on the homelessness and wider voluntary sector and people leaving prison over the coming months.
SDS40 is the acronym for the new policy which will reduce the time served in prison for certain people currently serving Standard Determinate Sentences (SDS) from 50% of their sentence to 40%. This is a temporary measure to address the ongoing overcrowding crisis in prisons, and will be reviewed in 18 months time. You can read more about this policy change here.
There are growing concerns from the homelessness and wider voluntary sector on what that means for resettlement planning and the inevitable heightened risk of homelessness, particularly with the first tranche of releases scheduled for 10th September. Join this session to hear the latest updates regarding this policy, to hear from our voluntary sector coordinator working at HMP Isis to share detail on what is happening from a prison perspective, our London Development Officer who will explore the services and support available and Jeremy White from Homeless Link who will lead the discussion on how homelessness services can work in partnership with statutory and other voluntary agencies in London to respond to this emerging situation.
