Rough Sleeping Assertive Outreach and Engagement Service
This service aims to reduce rough sleeping and the problems associated with rough sleeping. The outreach team provide services including street outreach to people who are street homeless to ensure that those rough sleeping are:
- provided with information, advice and support to access accommodation
- able to access emergency accommodation in severe weather
- reconnected to their own community if they do not have a local connection to the area
- encouraged to access services and support for health and wellbeing
- linked to services which can support their own and others' safety
People in housing need or homeless, but not rough sleeping, should be directed to local housing services.
Protecting rough sleepers in extreme weather
During extreme weather, we follow our Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP).
