Full of practical experience based cases to highlight the complexities and contextual nature of navigating the homelessness processes. Excellent training.
Excellent Homelessness Training!!
The homelessness training today has truly been educational as well as inspirational. Mike's delivery of the training content was very easy to follow, a lot of examples through case studies and interactive group work- perfectly organised. Going forward, I will definitely recommend my colleagues to join his training programmes and I will surely follow him as he has a wealth of experience that we can all benefit from.
Introduction to Homelessness Law -Time well spent
Mike delivered the content in a very professional way. Covered the essential content and included all relevant links for further reading. Loved the extra element of interaction through the team breakout sessions. Perfect level of detail for a days training. I will definitely look to expand on the knowledge learned through the further reading and booking on further courses.

Mike knows his stuff
Mike knows his stuff! Excellent resources that will become 'go to' guides for the future. I left with a much greater knowledge on homelessness applications, priority need, local connection and intentionality. I feel better equipped to support my staff who advocate for our guests. The day was certainly full on, but that's just an indication of the complexity involved in these issues.

The training excelled my expectations.
The training excelled my expectations. Homeless Law is a minefield for referrals and for an individual finding themselves where they are, or going to be, homeless. Mike Hyden presented the training in such a way that it all started to make sense. His training style really works. Resources excellent. I can’t recommend this course enough. Thank you Mike.
