All guests must have a move-on plan they are actively working towards. This will look different depending on their situation. However, these are the general options guests will have:

When a hosting placement ends, we will contact the host for a debrief on how they feel it has gone. This can be carried out by phone, online or in person. We will explore the ups and downs of the placement and how the host feels about taking future guests; for example, is there anything they or we could do differently next time?

We also need to collect details about the hosting process, the support you received and the guests progress which helps us evidence outcomes for funders and demonstrate the success of our project. We do this via surveys – one at the start of the placement and one at the end. Your participation in this is really appreciated and vital to the ongoing success and shaping of our charity.

Possible subjects for discussion at debrief:

• What went well?
• What didn’t go so well?
• Is there anything you would change next time (e.g. practical arrangements in the host/guest agreement, support from Hope at Home)?
• Are you happy to host again?
