The Residents’ Network is pleased to announce its latest duo of best practice groups.
Best practice groups are free to members and are a fantastic opportunity to hear about what’s happening in the sector and network with fellow housing professionals and residents.
This session will be facilitated by Damian Roche and Lydia Dlaboha and take place via zoom.
The topic for our best practice groups is the new consumer standards (currently out for consultation) and the new regulatory regime. We’ll provide an overview and there’ll be lots of time for questions and answers as well as a discussion about what it means for tenants. The Regulator is keen to engage with tenants (and not just those who are engaged already) during their inspections so it would be great to get your ideas about how this can best be done. As closing date for the consultation is on 17 October it’s also a great opportunity to get tenants’ views on them so they can be included in our submission.
This session is for Staff – Residents should book the earlier session on 4 October 2023.
This best practice group will also be a fantastic opportunity for anyone who is new to the network, or has not attended a best practice group before.

If you’re new to the network or haven’t attended a best practice group before, this is what your housing colleagues are saying about them:
“Every meeting that I’ve attended has given me a new idea to take away or helped me understand how I could improve my service”
“The best practice groups have been really useful. They offer reassurance on our processes, new ideas and a chance to meet new and familiar colleagues working in housing”
“A safety net to ensure nothing is forgotten or overlooked. So many things change in legislation or best practice it’s good to hear what others are doing to challenge your own thought process”.
“The best practice groups are fantastic. I’ve been inspired by many of the shared ideas, information and knowledge that colleagues bring”
Best practice groups are a great way of engaging with your network/hub members.
We look forward to seeing you there!
