Our Advocacy helpline regularly receives calls from children who are, or are facing homelessness and often do not understand what should happen and who should support them. We speak to many professionals unaware of the legal processes which should be followed to safeguard children facing homelessness.
We have developed our popular homelessness training into two online workshops covering an introduction into those rights, and how to advocate on for children (Under 18) who are homeless.
The two sessions will provide an opportunity to discuss the experiences of children who are homeless and the barriers they may face. We will discuss how professionals can advocate on behalf of, and utilise case law to ensure rights of children who are homeless are upheld.
Who is this specialist training for?
Suitable for those with little to no knowledge on the topic, and for those who are interested in a refresher.
