Hertfordshire Safeguarding Adult Board (HSAB) are hosting this Homelessness Workshop, this is an in-person event at Hertfordshire Development Centre in Stevenage.
 In response to several safeguarding adult referrals (SAR) relating to deaths of people experiencing homelessness in Hertfordshire,  the HSAB Safeguarding Adult Review Sub-Group recommended a thematic review be undertaken.  The review was conducted by Michael Preston-Shoot and a final report including a 7-minute briefing was published. 
 
The recommendations made included HSAB hosting a reflective learning event on what has (not) changed since the conclusion of this review.
  
The workshop will include an introduction by Michael Preston-Shoot setting the background, outcome and recommendations, key note speakers will be highlighting the National and Hertfordshire picture regarding people experiencing homelessness and multiple disadvantaged.
 
There will be opportunities to ask the panel of speakers questions followed by facilitated table top activities to reflect on the key messages provided within the workshop, how agencies can take forward the learning and implement within practice and how the HSAB Board can support.
