Youth

A resource exploring how practitioners can facilitate safe transitions into adulthood with young people accessing homelessness services.

In this 90-minute webinar, we hear from Centrepoint CEO Seyi Obakin OBE about the challenges and joys of leading the UK’s largest youth homelessness charity for nearly 20 years.

Following the publication of our guidance Safeguarding children and young people, this webinar will explore actions individuals and organisations can take to implement effective safeguarding practices.

Young people’s rights to support and housing are often different to adults. These resources unpick legislative frameworks affecting young people’s housing pathways and explain the different roles agencies, services and individuals have when responding to youth homelessness.

Psychologically Informed environments are designed and delivered in a way that takes into account the emotional and psychological needs of the individuals using them. These resources consider what this means for young people.

Young people’s experiences of homelessness vary. They are shaped by their own experiences of, and other people’s reactions to their circumstances and identity. These resources provide advice and information the services can use to tailor the support they offer to young people.
