As the current Parliament's term draws to a close, the goal to end rough sleeping remains unmet and the recent rough sleeping figures show a troubling picture.

Our speakers will give an overview of the current picture from their perspectives and reaction to the recent rough sleeping stats, talking about what key policies and factors have most contributed. They will reflect on recent years, identifying in what areas progress has been made and where policy and practice asks, and resourcing and funding should be focused moving forward to improve the situation.
