Thank you @ReddenCourt for allowing me to come and speak to your amazing staff about homelessness.

Thank you to Educational Psychologist, Marc Pescod from @LBofHavering who lead staff training on Thursday about Homelessness.

Marc spoke about the reasons how/why people become homeless and the ways we as a school can play our part in making their lives a little easier 🏠

Had such an amazing sessions with some passionate school staff all striving to support homelessness in their school. There is some incredible practice going on in Havering!...and it is just the start. Watch this space 😬😬

[Dr Marc Pescod @MarcPescod]

Over the last year, since starting the Homelessness Project in Havering, supporting schools and my SEND colleague with homelessness, I hear stories about this all the time. It's not okay and things needs to change. #homelessness #notokay

People with disabilities are living in temporary accommodation without working lifts, leaving them trapped in their rooms. The next government must address our acute accessible housing shortage #GeneralElection

[Dr Marc Pescod @MarcPescod]

Calling EPs interested in Homelessness 📢
Please consider signing this petition calling for changes in the #CriminalJusticeBill relating to rough sleeping/begging.
(https://t.co/vY3REnTv5N)
#TwitterEPs

[Dr Marc Pescod @MarcPescod]

The bill pertains to "nuisance begging" and "nuisance rough sleep". This language will only push people experiencing homelessness further into the margins of society.

@simonotstreets has written a great article for teachers on how to support children facing homelessness. They suggest Creating Stability, Creating a Safe Environment and Building Confidence. All of these are so important to making school a positive place.

“…if they don’t take it, you get taken off the list. But then if you do take it, then you also get taken off the list. So, now I am stuck in this place”.

[Dr Marc Pescod @MarcPescod]

Lack of control for our homeless families is a real problem. It significantly impacts parent's well-being and drains any autonomy they once had. See some powerful quotes from Groundwell's much needed research
