Tpas have updated our National Engagement Standards and Accreditation Frameworks to make sure they are aligned and will surpass all the latest regulatory requirements detailed in the White Paper.

The spotlight is being shone on engagement across the country, how can you be really sure that your involvement service is achieving the best outcomes for your residents and your organisation?

The voice of social housing tenants is being heard loud and clear by Government, MP’s and the national press agenda right now.

So, the time is absolutely now to look again at how you are engaging your communities to ensure that you are truly listening.

Let our engagement experts help with our practical, fast and effective SMART review.

What it includes

A Smart Review will help you;

  • understand how you are performing against regulatory requirements;
  • understand how you are performing against the Tpas National Tenant Engagement standard themes. 
  • enable you to ensure your engagement activities are based on sound strategic decisions;
  • enable you to understand what is working, what’s not and where to improve.

What does SMART involve?

Tpas staff will contact you to discuss your current approach. At this point we like to take a look at your key documents and processes to get a real sense of where things are at for you.

We'll virtually spend the day listening to your key staff and tenants to capture and understand their direct experience of your resident engagement. It’s always a time for useful insight and feedback as well as exploring exciting new ideas.

What you'll come away with

You will receive a report that includes;

  • a review of your engagement against our standards;
  • recognition of your good practice;
  • a practical and an achievable action plan on improvements you can make in the short, medium and longer term;
  • an assurance that your approaches are inclusive, evidencing the commitment you have to going the extra mile in ensuring that your services meet residents diverse needs.
  • clear analysis for your board and stakeholders on where your engagement is now and where it could go in the future 

What our clients say about the Smart Review

Don’t just listen to us, the Smart thing to do is let our clients tell you more...

The visit from Gillian to talk through our desktop exercise with staff was very useful and it helped us focus on where we need to focus to make improvements. It also helped us realise that we are doing well and that with some minor adjustments we will be achieving more than other organisations. Gillian was very clear about the project and we received exactly what was proposed to us. Gillian was very helpful and knowledgeable about the subject and shared lots of good practice from other organisations.

Correspondence with Tpas was made easy and was very productive. Tpas enabled us the opportunity to have a face to face discussion around how staff felt our involvement structure worked/does not work and equally gave our tenants an opportunity to do the same which did demonstrate clear mutual difficulties we are facing.The above has enabled us to have a reflective review of what we need to do in order to improve.
