Scrutiny Workshops

Workshop 1 - Reports – Bin or Win Scrutiny 

Once you’ve done the investigations, collected the evidence and decided the recommendations, you can sit back and relax, right? Ermm, well no, not quite! Putting all this in a report is your next challenge! But help is at hand with this practical and inspiring workshop designed to help you create reports that are appealing, accessible and impactful for many different audiences

Workshop 2 -  Great Minds Think Alike? Positive About Inclusion

This interactive session is all about diversity in scrutiny. The workshop will explore the common saying of ‘great minds think alike’ and ask if that is something we should celebrate in the context of scrutiny or does effective scrutiny need the challenge that different views and perspectives bring? And, if this is the case then: ? How can we actively recruit for diversity? ? How can we practically work together in a group to appreciate and value differences? ? How do we create the inclusive atmosphere in that group that creates the sense of belonging.

Workshop 3 - Doing a Scrutiny Review – The Tpas steps to success

At the heart of every review there should be an open, transparent and consistent process that ensures scrutiny delivers robust outcomes and real change. This workshop takes you through Tpas’s simple, and respected “Steps to Success” process that you can adapt and grow to suit your own reviews.

Workshop 4 - Constructive Conversations for Scrutiny Success.

Whether it's interviewing staff, gaining feedback from other tenants/residents/customers or chatting to each other, the conversations you have really are key to the success of your review, so why not join this workshop to see how you can improve and develop your conversation skills

Scrutiny Workshops

Workshop 5 - Scrutiny – it’s place in a new regulatory world.

Tenant/Resident/Customer Scrutiny has always been vital in ensuring good services and highlighting issues, but could it be even more essential in the years to come? With the biggest changes to Social Housing in years coming in the form of the Social Housing Regulation Bill, join Tpas Policy and Insight Manager Caritas Charles in an interactive session looking at how Scrutiny could hold the key to a greater tenants’ voice.

Workshop 6 - Top Tpas Tips for dealing with Scrutiny Challenges

Like most things in life the path to Scrutiny Success rarely runs smoothly. This workshop covers some of the common challenges and issues when it comes to Scrutiny, but more importantly is offers practical solutions and tips. Meaning that you can navigate the challenges ahead with more confidence, and maybe even avoid them altogether.

Workshop 7 - Recruiting for Scrutiny

For all of us involved in Scrutiny, we know what an incredibly rewarding and interesting opportunity it is but how do we convince others? This insightful and innovative workshop looks at what works when it comes to recruiting scrutineers, and also shares with you some alternative approaches that you might want to use.

Workshop 8 - Show me the Evidence

Scrutiny needs good quality evidence. Without it, investigations and recommendations become rooted in opinions, and lack the rigour and robustness needed to make a real impact. This workshop will explore what we mean by evidence, why it matters, and the difference types of evidence gathering tools that Scrutiny can use.
