A Talk by Lucy Campbell and Peter Boyd-Piercy

About this Talk

In this session we will hear about the first Pan London women's rough sleeping census, covering

  • why the census was needed; how the census methodology was developed; and what a gender informed outreach approach looks like
  • The key findings of the census
  • what the census tells us about how we can work towards ending rough sleeping for women

We will have time for questions with the speakers and break out into groups to discuss attendee's local approaches to hidden homelessness insight and support.
