Rough Sleeping Estimate - Evening/Morning of 21/22 November 2019 PDF 200 KB
The Government definition of a rough sleeper is as follows: “People sleeping, about to bed down (sitting on/in or standing next to their bedding) or actually bedded down in the open air (such as on the streets, in tents, doorways, parks, bus shelters or encampments). People in buildings or other places not designed for habitation (such as stairwells, barns, sheds, car parks, cars, derelict boats, stations, or “bashes”).” The definition does not include people in hostels or shelters, people in campsites or other sites used for recreational purposes or organised protest, squatters or Travellers.
Our estimate must only include those rough sleeping on that single night. Our typical night has been chosen taking into account local factors, a weekday and it is the same night as some of our neighbouring authorities are estimating or counting their figures.
Where possible and to prevent double counting, it would be helpful if you can provide the following information when notifying us of any rough sleepers: -
Please send any notifications of rough sleepers to me at:
In addition, I have attached a copy of our fact sheet for Severe Weather Provision. These arrangements are to ensure there is a humanitarian response to prevent rough sleepers dying from the cold while there is severe weather.
Thank you very much for your help with this. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. |
