Why now?
From the 06 April 2017, the homes and Communities Agency no longer has to approve the size and structure of housing associations and the way that they deliver services to tenants. Combined with this ‘deregulation’ the regulators Consumer Standards have been strengthened to ensure tenants are ‘properly consulted’ on any business structure changes so that their interests are safeguarded Tpas are working in partnership with Shared Ventures Ltd to help demystify new approaches to service delivery and ensure tenant voices are heard in the design and delivery of these approaches.
Audience
This event is designed for staff from senior managers to front line officers who may be asked to lead on or help facilitate new approaches as well as tenant volunteers involved in influencing and monitoring services. It will also appeal to board members and councillors.
Benefits of attending
By attending this event, you will gain a insight into new models of service delivery and innovation across the sector. You will feel confident to lead or be involved in merger, shared or co-produced service discussions about the way social housing can be delivered in the future
