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.
For Practitioners
We provide help and support to people with lived experience of hoarding, working at their pace to make their homes safer and more comfortable. We also advocate for people to be treated with understanding, dignity and respect in their communities and by service providers.
For Individuals
From the Hoarding Taskforce (Scotland)
Don’t open people’s boxes if you’re not competent to deal with what you find inside.
