If you or a group of churches are interested or looking into setting up a shelter please read on….

We recognise that setting up a shelter, such as recruiting churches, volunteers and deciding how guests are referred into your shelter, can be difficult tasks. We hope that by creating universal documents which you can adjust and edit to suit will give you a framework from which to work with or as a foundation for your shelter. Please contact us for a link to access any of the documents below:

How to refer to the shelter

Guest Agreement

Registration Form (filled in by agency with guests details)

Health & Safety Policy

Alcohol/Controlled Drugs Policy

Violence & Offensive Language Policy

Guidelines for dealing with conflict

Equal opportunities Policy

Confidentiality Guidelines

 

The C4WS Model works for us and our churches in Camden but is not the only model out there.We encourage you to contact other shelters and organisations for guidance and sharing of their experiences so that you make informed decisions based on your individual needs.
