King's College London

Jess Harris presented emerging findings from the Unit's MCA study, which is drawing to a close at the end of this month.

Comments from attendees:

• Thanks so much for the research and recommendations. It's incredibly emboldening, as is the chance to listen to other practitioners and experts. I hope the recommendations can be taken forward both in terms of future legislation review and definitely co-attended cross sector/disciplinary training thereafter. In the meantime, I will be sharing the slides within our sector locally as well as organisationally and get the findings on the agenda of our local forums.

• Your findings will be very useful for me as a practitioner to share and discuss with colleagues both within the Local authority and in a multi-agency way. Only yesterday i was suggesting in a multi disciplinary meeting that we need to get together and discuss such complex cases to talk about how we can work towards supporting the person as much as possible. These findings will support with this suggestion; especially value all the lived experience feedback.
• Thanks very much for this! Can't wait to use this in team discussions and wider - will get back to you about how this has helped shape practice.
• Thank you Jess that was brilliant and insightful. Such important work.
• Thanks so much - fantastic session prompting much discussion and thinking as always!

This was part of the Homelessness series.

Following the session Jess Harris and Stephen Martineau took part in a community of practice in one of the study sites.
