Centrepoint Peer Education in Easington

Report on an initiative by Centrepoint and the District of Easington, County Durham, to work with socially excluded young people (at higher risk of homelessness) to develop a model of peer education to informally teach other young people about homelessness in the area. Looks at what is meant by peer education, project methodology and results. Recommendations for similar initiatives include the allocation of individual review time to young people, and a flexible approach by staff to project delivery.
