Our Schools’ Programme aims to provide young people with an awareness of the issues around homelessness to help reduce the likelihood that they fall into the trap of homelessness as well as help overcome prejudice and stereotyping towards people who are homeless.  We provide schools, free of charge, with a 5 lesson scheme of work, resources and a DVD, mapped to Year 8 Citizenship and PSHE curricula.  To view our Scheme of Work on Homelessness for KS3 click here.  For a free DVD and/or a CD-Rom of the complete Schools’ Pack please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

Research

In September 2009, St Petrock’s in partnership with ARTEC, an Exeter-based research and training company, received funding to carry out a 12 month research project. The aim of this project was to gain a better understanding of the link between dependent and hazardous drinking and rough sleeping, in order to improve interventions and outcomes for this group. St Petrock’s has been successful in providing a range of services, which engage and support the homeless.  However, rough sleepers with established alcohol problems, have proved a group consistently hard to engage with.  Recent national and local government audits carried out over the last two years, have indicated a growing concern about the health and social consequences for many rough sleeping alcohol users and that services have struggled to find appropriate responses, despite an existing inter-agency network of professionals.
