People experiencing homelessness should be able to access high quality, safe services.

As a manager of accommodation or other building-based services, you have responsibilities under a range of legislation, including Housing Law, Health & Safety and Fire Safety.

Our guidance provides a summary of these responsibilities - you may need to seek further expert support or training, or to review your organisational policies and procedures, in order to comply with these duties.
