Consultation with public health nurses - open to 6th March 2018

Background to this survey
 
Public Health England, NHS England and the Department of Health have funded Homeless Link, together with the Young People’s Health Partnership to develop a learning resource and toolkit for public health nurses (health visitors, school nurses, general practice nurses and midwives) working with homeless families (0-24) to address health inequalities and to address the public health issues for this specific group.

This work is part of the additional work programme of the Health and Wellbeing Alliance, a group of 21 organisations that have been brought together to bring the voluntary sector’s voice and expertise into national policy making.  The project leads are partnering with other members of the Alliance to ensure that resources work for specific groups: Citizen’s Advice, Maternity Action, The National LGB&T Partnership, Mental Health Providers Forum, Race Equality Foundation, Win Win Alliance.

One other partner that is not a member of the Health and Wellbeing Alliance but that brings specific expertise in the subject is the Queen’s Nursing Institute (QNI).

About the consultations

As part of this project we are consulting with public health nurses to find out what issues they face in their work with homeless families and young people and the kind of support that would be useful via the tools we are developing.  This feedback is central to the development of resources alongside the oversight from Public Health England and feedback from families and young people who have been affected by homelessness. 
 
This short survey has 9 questions and should take 10 minutes to complete - thank you in advance for your feedback.
