Prevention Through Education: Understanding and preventing youth homelessness within education; community and social settings. Following this training; participants will: Have an improved knowledge and understanding of how young people experience homelessness and be able to recognise causes and indicators; Be able to understand the scale and impact of homelessness on young people and be able to identify associated risks and safeguarding issues; Have a brief overview of relevant legislation and statutory responsibilities for young people; and how these differ depending on age.
We work in local communities across the country to prevent and relieve the impact of homelessness on people’s lives. We prioritise young people, who are among the most vulnerable in society, and especially those who have previously had traumatic experiences. We are passionate about the difference we make.
The Depaul Group was founded in 1989 in response to the growing number of homeless London youth sleeping rough on the streets. Today, Depaul International charities work around the world, going where the need is greatest.
In the UK, we run services in the North East, South Yorkshire, Milton Keynes and Greater Manchester as well as London and the South East. We also manage and accredit the Nightstop Network of community volunteer hosting services, which operates in more than 30 communities around the UK.
