Safeguarding responses to homelessness and self-neglect (ONLINE)

A Talk by Jess Harris and Bruno Ornelas

About this Talk

This session will look at findings from a national study on how self-neglect is experienced by people who are homeless, and how this can be addressed through strengthening local adult safeguarding responses.

Drawing on national guidance and toolkits, our expert speakers will then look at helping practitioners to articulate needs and risk in line with relevant legal frameworks and consider routes for dispute resolution.
