Youth Homeless North East would like to invite you to ‘Tackling Youth Homelessness’, a conference to present and discuss better outcomes for young people who may be at risk of homelessness.  These events will be focussing on:

• Young People Leaving Care – and the use of the national ‘Care Leaver Accommodation and Support Framework’ (Barnardos and St Basils) to support local work. 
• Young people involved in the criminal justice system – and the use of the national Youth Justice Accommodation Pathway (St Basils).
• Working with 16/17 year olds – and the recently revised joint statutory guidance issued by MHCLH and DfE.

Youth Homelessness Advisers from the Homelessness Advice and Support Team, Ministry for Housing, Communities and Local Government who will be presenting and contributing throughout the day.  Delegates are particularly encouraged from Local Authority Housing Option Managers, Children’s Services Leads for 16/17 year olds who are homeless or threatened with homelessness, Youth Offending Service Managers, Commissioners of housing related support and 16+ Looked After Children and care-leavers, Third Sector organisation managers, and other services that work with local authorities to deliver these services.
