Welcome to our podcast 'Hope in the Deep End', brought to you by the Shared Health Foundation.

In this podcast series we are exploring all the different complexities of working in areas of deprivation, poverty and entrenched health inequalities. From clinicians to youth workers, we want to inspire, challenge and give inspiration to all those that work in the deep end.

This episode was recorded as part of Shared Health’s annual Homeless Families Conference: Dare to Hope - an event bringing together lived experience, housing, health, education, politicians, media and everyone working to support families in temporary accommodation. If you’re interested in attending our next conference, visit our website.

This Local Authority Panel featured a discussion on supporting homeless families and best practice from around the country. Shaun Flook is the Assistant Director for Housing Needs & Tenancy at the Royal Borough of Greenwich. Rachel Connelly is the Head of Supported Housing at Salford City Council.
