Topic: Social Housing regulation –What are the implications for residents of the changes to the framework?

With the Grenfell enquiry reaching its conclusion, the shocking death of Awaab Ishak in Rochdale, and high profile Ombudsman and regulator interventions around disrepair in social housing, it’s clear that the sector is going to remain in the forefront of Government thinking. We can expect the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill to soon pass into law. With all this in mind, how do we best engage with tenants and residents to ensure we can meet the challenges ahead and ensure we deliver the best possible services?

What does professionalisation look like?

How should residents be involved in helping residents prepare for inspection?

How should the regulator engage with residents?

How best do we engage with residents on the Tenant satisfaction measures?

The Residents’ Network is pleased to announce its latest duo of best practice groups.

This session will be facilitated by Damian Roche, and Lydia Dlaboha and take place via zoom.

This session is for residents – The network provides an opportunity for you to have your voices heard, learn skills and develop knowledge that will provide you with an understanding of housing policy and the confidence to hold your landlord to account.

Staff working in engagement should book the earlier session on 26 January 2023.

Why you should come to the best practice group:

  • Great way to find out what others are doing
  • Good, honest and open discussions
  • Sharing best practice and ideas with others
  • Acts as a sense-check about what people are doing or thinking of doing.
