It was RESOLVED: -
That Cabinet approved Option 1 -The strategy in its current form and acknowledged the changing landscape of social housing regulation in terms of the significance of good tenant engagement.
REASON FOR DECISION
The strategy has been co-designed with tenants through a consultation exercise with the Tenant Board, the wider tenant population, portfolio holding members and some key staff.
It is important for the councils to have a Tenant Engagement Strategy to set out how we, as a landlord, ensure that tenants are given a wide range of opportunities to influence and be involved in the formation of their landlord’s housing-related strategic priorities. This includes decision making about how services are delivered, performance scrutiny and the management of their homes as required in the Regulator’s Tenancy Involvement and Empowerment consumer standard.
