Title: My Space My Place - The Workers Toolkit
Publication Date: First published 2006 Scottish Council for Single Homeless
Publication By: Scottish Council for Single Homeless
Description: The workers toolkit consists of a Young Persons Guide (11 magazines in a special carry case) with an additional magazine for workers and a CD-ROM packed with useful material. The toolkit is intended for all workers supporting young people in their tenancy.

The workers magazine, just like those for young people, is practical and accessible. It includes personal stories as well as practical advice on helping young people sustain their tenancies, making best use of the My Space My Place pack and a guide to the CD-ROM.

The CD-ROM includes fifteen session plans for working with young people preparing for and settling into their own tenancies. In addition, there are bundles of warm-up exercises, additional group and one-to-one activities, standard letters, and templates for customising the Young Persons Guide. Also included are some video clips in which young people and workers discuss the challenges of sustaining a tenancy.

The My Space My Place resource won the UK Housing Award for Outstanding Achievement in Social Housing for Scotland in November 2006.
Usage: The toolkit is intended for all workers supporting young people in their tenancy.
