Living with other people can be difficult, and this can often result in people being asked to leave home.  Finding alternative accommodation can take time due to the chronic shortage of housing in the district so it is important to try and do this in a planned way.  

If you are asked to leave your home, we can arranged for a home visit to help negotiation with your parents or friends to prevent you from becoming homeless.  We will still be able to offer you advice about moving on whilst you temporarily remain living with friends or family.

If you are 16 or 17 years old, and you are having difficulties at home, Social Care may be able to offer you and your family support.   If you approach the council as homeless at 16 or 17 we will make a referral to Social Care so a joint assessment can be carried out.   Social Care will then work with you and your family to try to resolve your homeless situation.

If you are homeless or threatened with homelessness, the council will be able to offer you an appointment for a full assessment of your circumstances
