Homeless Link releases a good practice guide on making arrangements to prevent rough sleeper deaths during extreme cold weather.

Severe Weather Emergency Protocols (SWEP) for rough sleepers set out the types of arrangements that need to be made to ensure people are not at risk of dying on the streets during cold weather.

Under localism it will be a matter for individual local authorities working with their voluntary sector partners to decide on the arrangements to be put in place. CLG will no longer play an active role.

You can download the good practice guide and find other cold weather provision resources on our website.
