Scrutiny Services
We will work with you to ensure your resident-led scrutiny gets results.
Involving residents to examine decisions, policies and actions that affect their home brings massive improvements, enhances transparency and helps you deliver more effective services. It’s a real win-win. It’s little wonder then that getting scrutiny right is such a massive priority for organisations,
Why choose Tpas?
We have helped 100s of landlords through our first class mentoring, training and support services to deliver smarter, stronger and more effective scrutiny.
We do this through a flexible and tailored approach that seeks to embed the following three principles of good scrutiny into a framework that works for your organisation
Independence:
The scrutineers need to have the independence to choose the areas they wish to scrutinise and carry out that scrutiny
Formality:
They need a formal remit with clear terms which clarifies their role and boundaries of scrutiny including how it relates with other resident involvement activities, the landlords and the board/council
Resident power:
For scrutiny to be effective it has to be able to influence the direction of the organisation and its services. It requires clear powers and linkages to ensure this is the case.
Tpas knows that moving forward, organisations need to continue to develop and change and this can include looking at more innovative and creative ways of engaging with their tenants and residents.
By working with Tpas you’ll have access to learning from the past; we’ll help your scrutiny model become fit for the future, ensuring it is effective and embedded within the organisation to drive forward your business performance.
