- Asylum Seeking Families or young people under 18 years
- Those who present to Housing Needs having moved from another part of the UK with no local connection
- Person’s moving within the European Community and seeking housing
- Households with children that present to Housing Needs who are not eligible for assistance because of immigration status or because the family has been found to be intentionally homeless
Staff are required to implement the protocol.
