Thank you, Neil Morland, for sharing your insights at the MRI Housing Options User Event. The scale of the temporary accommodation crisis is stark, but your reflections on past successes remind us that progress is achievable. Preventing homelessness, improving conditions for those in temporary accommodation, and reducing reliance on it require collaborative effort and clear strategies. Strengthening partnerships, improving standards, and reducing time spent in temporary accommodation can make a real difference for those in need. What do you think are the most urgent steps to address this issue? Let’s continue the conversation. #SocialHousing #TemporaryAccommodation #HomelessnessPrevention

A Call to Action to Supported Accommodation Providers Following a recent survey of our provider members and ongoing communication with those members, several concerns have been raised, that still need to be properly addressed by the relevant authorities. We reaffirm the defence of the much-needed regulation of the sector to protect vulnerable young people. But, provider concerns are being elevated by recent public communications from Ofsted that don’t seem to be in line with the content of the original regulations and the guide accompanying the regulations. On which providers depended to make their decision to register and shape their services. These concerns are related to: - The downgrading of Supported Accommodation and limiting the support that providers are able and capable of delivering for the benefit of many vulnerable young people; - Decision-making affecting the lives of vulnerable young people is coming from outside and above as opposed to within and below, with no representation of the voice (and concerns) of the ones that deliver Supported Accommodation, meaning the vast experience that already exists in the sector and the actual experience of the young people is being ignored; - The application of the regulations is being shaped by anecdotes and outliers and not the reality of what supported accommodation is and can be for many vulnerable young people. The SAA is promoting a meeting open to any supported accommodation provider to discuss these concerns, intending to create an open letter of concerns and expectations, to be delivered to Ofsted, DfE and other representative governmental associations. We also call for other provider associations to join this meeting, so the voices of providers can be heard and taken into consideration. https://lnkd.in/e33ah-wV #supportedaccommodation #saa #ofsted #dfe

It is essential that providers come together with one voice to ask for clarity, and consistency from our regulator and the government. By doing so will help drive up standards and quality of practice in the sector.

Short-Term Accommodation (Respite) is a broad term that covers various types of STA support and also includes respite care. STA enables you to experience living away from home in a supportive environment for short periods of time. One-on-one short-term care where you are paired up with a support worker for a period of time that suits your particular needs. Group short-term options match your needs with other people who may have similar needs and interests and enjoy participating in a group respite activity. Overnight or weekend facility-based support where your needs and interests align with shared STA facilities. In some cases, the provider might book an apartment at a hotel. STA isn’t just about the accommodation, it also involves the support you receive while staying there.
