The Severe Weather Emergency Protocol is activated when temperatures fall to 0°C, providing crucial accommodation support for vulnerable people sleeping rough during dangerous winter conditions.
This winter, the SWEP has been activated for three nights already, providing temporary shelter to those at risk, showcasing the city's commitment to protecting homeless individuals.
Sadiq Khan emphasizes the importance of community involvement, urging Londoners to report anyone they see sleeping rough through StreetLink to facilitate necessary assistance.
Despite the urgency of providing shelter during extreme weather, local authorities are not legally required to do so, making initiatives like SWEP essential for protecting lives.
