Your Local Authority

Thank you for taking part in our survey on youth homelessness. Your responses will contribute to our Young & Homeless 2015 report and help to evidence current need for advice, assistance and accommodation for young people in your area. Homeless Link will be using the results to influence proposed government changes on restrictions to housing support for 18 to 21 year olds and funding for services for young people.

This year we have significantly reduced the number of questions and very few require numerical answers.  We have designed the survey so you can re-enter it at any time and do not need to complete it all in one sitting. However you will need to finish the page you are on before leaving the survey and coming back to it. You may find it useful to read through the survey PDF that is attached to this email before starting your answers online. You may also find it useful to pass this on to other colleagues if you are answering different parts of the survey.

Some of the answers to the survey refer to 16/17 year olds and care leavers. If these young people have been accommodated by children services please can they still be included in your figures.

The information you provide will be kept confidential and anonymous.

If you are unable to give exact numbers please provide estimates for these figures.

*** EVERYONE WHO PROVIDES US WITH A COMPLETE AND USBALE SURVEY RESPONSE WILL BE ENTERTED INTO A FREE PRIZE DRAW TO WIN £300 WORTH OF TRAINING OR EVENTS VOUCHERS TO A HOMELESS LINK EVENT OF YOUR CHOICE ***
