| Description: | Select Guide Rating While rough sleepers may be seen as the face of homelessness, in fact homelessness can take many forms. It also includes the 'hidden homeless': individuals and families living in temporary accommodation, staying with friends and family or 'sofa surfing'. This book explores the causes and effects of this ever-present social problem, including information on young homeless people, the health of rough sleepers and the help available to those without a home. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter are two pages of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter. |
