Emotional Safety in Homelessness Services: A Trauma-Informed Practice Checklist for Professionals This resource has been created by the BeyondTrauma Advisory Network (BTAN) for professionals working within homelessness services and frontline settings where individuals often present at points of acute stress, loss of control, and repeated system contact. Emotional Safety in Homelessness Services explores how even well-intentioned processes, language, and time-pressured systems can unintentionally replicate experiences of powerlessness, fear, and harm. It reframes emotional safety not as the removal of boundaries or avoidance of difficult conversations, but as how those interactions are carried out. This checklist-based guide supports professionals to reduce re-traumatisation in everyday practice by embedding clarity, choice, dignity, and consistency into routine interactions. It offers practical, realistic guidance that can be applied even within high-pressure, under-resourced environments — without compromising safety, accountability, or service requirements. Designed for professionals who want to deliver care that is not only efficient but humane, this resource promotes respectful communication, relational safety, and trauma-aware engagement that protects both service users and staff. 👥 Audience of RelevanceThis resource is intended for: • Homelessness and housing support professionals• Frontline and outreach workers• Social care and safeguarding staff• Voluntary sector and community services• Trauma-informed organisations ⚠️ BTAN Disclaimer:The resources shared within the BeyondTrauma Advisory Network (BTAN) are for personal reflection, knowledge-building, and support.
