Identifying and Responding to Hoarding: Good Practice Guidance (East Lothian and Midlothian Public Protection Committee)

This resource supports good multi-agency practice in identifying and responding to hoarding. It helps people to identify, understand and respond skillfully to hoarding in a trauma-informed way. The resource also outlines the responsibilities of the key statutory agencies. At the end, the guide has a useful checklist for managerial oversight of hoarding cases and a resource list of links to videos about hoarding, including input from adults who have lived experience of hoarding.
