Most homeless people lack the everyday life skills such as dealing with bureaucracy, networking and negotiating that we all take for granted. This report argues that we need a new approach to developing life skills as a way to tackle social exclusion. Attempts to help people develop life skills should start from the actual experiences of their lives, rather than attempting to teach life skills in a formal setting.
