Supporting guests to accept a matched council property for example: - Being clear that other properties are unlikely to be available and would be of similar size and quality - Being clear that this is the first step towards their longer-term plans in the UK, not the location they need to remain in forever - Helping guests understand the role of the council once they are moved into settled accommodation - Support the transition of families as they move on by providing them with information about the local area, providing reassurance and a 'friendly face' in the new area, and responding to any questions or concerns they may have about the property or local area and community Providing practical tools that may help for example: - Providing maps of the UK on the wall to provide clarity on distances - Helping guests download transport apps (trainline etc) onto phones so they can understand time and distance to travel to family / employment - Showing photos of the house and local area - Using google maps to demonstrate distance to services and amenities A commissioned Move-On service is actively working with guests to support them with move-on - especially into the private rented sector.
