Homelessness and Houselessness

We must take action now days because society does not realize that by ignoring the bad habits that people approach can present them as a spin of a coin and pass poe that needs. The issue of the quantitative extent of homelessness is often controversial and hotly debated at local, regional and national levels. There is a tendency for those responsible for policies and the funding of services to underestimate the extent in order to minimise public responsibilities and to keep the problem they are expected to deal with manageable. On the other hand, pressure groups tend to overestimate the number of homeless people in order to increase their political relevance and the resources made available to them.

The important point here is that one single number will not be enough to understand homelessness and to develop and monitor adequate policies to tackle it. If we take the different life situations of homeless people, we want to have not only a single indicator on the number of people experiencing such a situation at a given point in time or during a given period, but also indicators on how many people are becoming homeless and how many manage to end an episode of homelessness

As Edgar et al. (2007) emphasised, homelessness strategies should have a number of different aims – and more and more European governments have developed such comprehensive homelessness strategies, 7 setting concrete targets in fields of action such as:

• Prevention of homelessness.

• Tackling the causes of homelessness.

• Reducing the level of homelessness.

• Reducing the negative effects on homeless people and their families.

• Ensuring that formerly homeless people can sustain permanent independent housing

Truancy

The only thing that does change is a shift from court referral to earlier intervention by schools.

Truancy means missing school on a regular basis for no good reason. It is also sometimes called ‘unauthorised absence’ By law, all children who are registered at school must attend regularly. Home-educated children do not have to attend school. Children in special schools, and those on free school meals, are most likely to truant

The children who skip school do not do as well in test, assessments and exams so they are not at a stable level as other students.

The more engaged you are as a parent in your child’s education, the more likely your child is to attend and enjoy school. Taking an interest in your child’s school life is a very important way to avoid truancy.

Another factor which in turn influence truancy is in which Among at-risk students, the needs of bullying victims are distinct. school truancy and disciplinary problems may reflect attempts to self-protect. These efforts may take the form of avoidance or pre-emptive action. Feeling hopeless or defenseless, victims may opt to frequently stay home from school to avoid their bullies or the social stigma associated with being known as a victim

Given the vast and negative effects of bullying on its victims, practitioners and researchers must also adapt to the changing face of bullying.

often it is presented to young people so they take decisions to no longer go to school and terminadan in different places would not be good to them.
