There is still time to book your place to attend our annual Tackling Homelessness and Rough Sleeping Digital Conference. Westminster Insight will share recommendations, collaborative best practice and evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes for people sleeping rough or at risk of homelessness.
Recent Government statistics reported the highest number of households living in private or social housing seeking homelessness assistance since data collections began*.
With keynote addresses provided by Bob Blackman MP, Co-Chair, APPGEH and Lord Bob Kerslake, we will review progress against Government targets, including the goal to end rough sleeping by 2024. What are the next steps to prevent a homelessness crisis with the current cost-of-living crisis?

Essential Writing Skills Course Comments
“It brought home the importance of written communication within the public sector. It provided me with useful insights, provided techniques that I can implement and a potentially useful document resource.” UK Research & Innovation
“I would highly recommend this session! The trainer was brilliant. All sessions work at pace that was clear, easy to follow and understand. Thank you!” BEIS
“Very useful, interactive and enjoyable. Thank you.” Westminster City Council
My main objective was to have a better understanding of how to formulate consultation responses. My job is in Regulation for an energy company in NI and I have only been in the job for a short time. Part of my role is to write consultations in response to Regulatory or industry proposals. I feel after the course I am better equipped to prepare and write these consultation responses in the correct manner. Firmus Energy
