The specimen Standard Notification Form which local authorities are advised to use for the purpose of notifying another council that they consider the conditions for referring a homeless applicant are met (under section 198 of the Housing Act 1996), i.e. for formally requesting a local connection referral.

This version is taken from the May 2018 version of the Procedures for Referrals of Homeless Applicants to Another Local Authority - Guidelines for Local Authorities on Procedures for Referral, agreed by the LGA, CoSLA and WLGA.

The Word version has some additional table headings in Section D ('Addresses in the last five years'), to prompt the user to provide adequate details for each previous address.
