Over 4,300 children in Manchester are homeless and vulnerable to missing the vital support that schools can provide. Living in Temporary Accommodation can deeply affect their educational attainment and often schools are unaware of a families housing situation until crisis point.
Manchester City Council have adopted a notification protocol that informs schools and GPs of a child’s homelessness status. It is essential these services are aware so they can support the families where needed. Therefore, Manchester City Council, Manchester Communication Academy and the Shared Health Foundation are hosting an online training session that will provide detailed guidance as to how schools can best support our most vulnerable children after receiving this notification on Thursday 16th January at 3:30pm.
