Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP)
SWEP has been activated on Tuesday, 30 December 2025 and will be reviewed on Monday, 5 January 2026.
As the temperature drops, we want to make sure no one needs to sleep out on the street during the cold weather.
We urge anyone sleeping rough to register for this provision now, so we can plan in advance. Please register, in person, at:
- SHOC/Trinity, 323 High St, Slough SL1 1TX
- the Salvation Army on Stoke Road, Slough.
If you are concerned about anyone sleeping rough and would like to help them to a safe and secured accommodation during the cold weather, please use the Street Link website to report rough sleeping.
During out of hours (between 5pm and 9am), please contact the Emergency Duty Service on 01344 351 999.
If you see a rough sleeper who may need urgent medical assistance, please call 999 first without delay.
