This section of the handbook outlines the practical approaches to street outreach working.
Delivering street outreach work is varied, challenging but also very interesting. Those working in street outreach aim to give the best service to rough sleepers and this section supports this practical element of delivery.
Engagement - looks at steps to engagement and specialist needs of rough sleepers (e.g. older rough sleepers, rough sleepers with no recourse to public funds, couples).
Reconnections - gives practical steps to frontline staff when working with reconnections policies.
Practical risk management - addresses the health and safety issues that frontline staff may face.
Operational guidelines - briefly summarises the practices that frontline outreach staff should consider before commencing an outreach shift.
