Learning, Policy and Practice

INFORMING AND TRANSFORMING

Advancing understanding of hoarding disorder through evidence-informed education, research and collaboration — improving professional responses and outcomes for people affected by the condition.


What We Do

We work with housing, health, social care and third sector organisations to create evidence-based hoarding policies and guidelines to support interventions that are proportionate, ethical and achievable in practice.

For Organisations

Our structured learning pathway helps frontline practitioners build the skills and confidence to support people with hoarding behaviours, using a harm reduction approach and trauma-informed principles.
