Since autumn 2010, all local authorities in England have been required to submit an annual snapshot figure to the MHCLG, indicating the number of people sleeping rough in their area on a ‘typical’ night between 1st October and 30th November.
Whether you're a local authority lead, independent partner, volunteer, or simply curious about the process, we invite you to join an informative session on, Monday 18th August, 11:00 AM.
The session will be led by Viv Griffiths, Rough Sleeping Snapshot Estimates Project Coordinator.
In this session, we will cover:
- The purpose and importance of the Annual Rough Sleeping Snapshot
- The three available approaches:
o Count-based estimate
o Evidence-based estimate
o Evidence-based estimate including a spotlight count… and how to choose the right one for your area
- How the snapshot estimate quality assurance process works and what to expect on a typical night
- A chance to ask questions and connect with colleagues across different boroughs
Don't miss this opportunity to stay informed, share insights, and strengthen your local response to rough sleeping.
