Hoarding for housing professionals

Online

Who’s it for and what is it about?

This course is for housing staff who work directly with tenants or those that visit tenanted properties, and may encounter someone who they think displays signs of hoarding behaviour.

Delegates will consider at the concept of hoarding, what defines it, what may lead to someone engaging in hoarding behaviour and what interventions can be used to alleviate the impact of it on the individual, housing staff, emergency staff and the community as a whole.

⦁    Understand risk assessment of properties where there are hoarding issues
