In 2018, as part of the Government's Rough Sleeping Initiative, Homeless Link was commissioned to deliver training to street outreach teams. We sourced training materials and good practice from our members to create a course informed both by frontline teams and by people with experience of sleeping rough.
This page collects the resources shared by our members, and will be updated over time. If you would like to submit material for inclusion, please contact Tasmin.
Huge thanks to everyone who shared their expertise, including: Julian House, P3, Changing Lives, St Mungo's, EASL, Expert Citizens, Basingstoke & Deane Social Inclusion Partnership, CGL, Elim Connect, Standing Together, Colin Dyson and David Gill. We're also grateful to Invisible People for enabling people on the streets to tell their stories: https://invisiblepeople.tv/
These training materials are available for organisations to incorporate into local induction and training programmes for street outreach teams.
Alternatively, to book an in-house session with a Homeless Link trainer, please contact training@homelesslink.org.uk.
Guidance, top tips, templates and case studies, shared by Homeless Link members to help street outreach teams develop their practice.
This course is similar to the Introduction to Complex Trauma and Trauma Informed Care course for frontline staff but is aimed specifically at operational and senior managers.
Find out how working with people's strengths can make their experience of services more dignified, useful and empowering - and lead to better outcomes.
