Thank you @ReddenCourt for allowing me to come and speak to your amazing staff about homelessness.
The work you are doing around this topic should be acknowledged and amplified. I feel lucky to be part of this inspirational journey to support your homeless students. 🙏
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 😬😬
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

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
trustforlondon.org.uk/resear…
"No, you have no choice. You are basically presented with a place, and you are told to go there. You can’t see it before you accept it. I mean I –this is a real problem in my case particularly. I wasn’t allowed to read the tenancy agreement before I signed it."
“I feel like I am sitting here, and everyone is just sucking all of the life out of me. And I have nothing left, I cannot fight anything anymore”.
I feel incredibly proud to have completed the first Homelessness in Educational Setting trainings to primary schools and nurseries across the Havering. Great turnout and discussions. Bring on the secondaries and college.
Well done @CathLowther. It is so important we spread the word about the detrimental effects of homelessness on young people. The life long-lasting impact of a child experiencing homelessness in the first 5 years of life is real and needs to be discussed more!
Here at the BBC to record an interview about the devastating effects of temporary accommodation on the lives of babies, children and young people for @BBCfileon4
