We’re excited to announce the launch of a new qualification developed in collaboration with Homeless Link.
It is designed for people in the U.K who want to gain the knowledge and skills required to work in outreach services, supporting people away from sleeping rough using person centred and trauma informed approaches.
The content has been developed with input from a range of experts in the homelessness sector, so that it reflects current working practices.
It’s also been reviewed by people who have lived experience of homelessness, to ensure that it reflects the things that are important to them when working with services.
