The unequal risk: an equality and human rights lens in housing and homelessness

Join Homeless Network Scotland for a half-day online course giving you an awareness of entrenched inequalities and practical actions we can take to design a more accessible, inclusive and equitable approach to ending homelessness in Scotland.

Location: Teams

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

1. Recognise the systemic inequalities and who is most at risk of experiencing homelessness
2. Explore the relevant legal duties within the Equality Act (2010) to homelessness service providers and employers
3. Analyse the barriers to equality present in homelessness services and design processes
4. Make decisions with an equality and human rights lens to ensure that prevention work represents the diverse communities of people affected by housing insecurity
5. Reflect on what you need to continue to learn about to be proactive about inequality

This course is designed for organisations like local councils, registered social landlords and public service providing partners who need to comply with the Equality Act (2010) and the Scotland Specific Duties. It is particularly relevant for equality leads, monitoring teams, senior managers and board members with a governance role.

Please contact the Homeless Network Scotland training team if you want to attend any of our training courses, but don’t have an organisation funding your place. We sponsor some free training places throughout the year for students and people who are unwaged or using homelessness services. The Frontline Network also has a training fund available.
