About

Strong governance is pivotal in housing associations and co-operatives, providing strategic direction and leadership necessary to create successful organisations. This community of practice comes together to consider regulatory requirements and developments alongside other national scrutiny developments.

This community of practice will develop your skills and knowledge to meet regulatory and statutory requirements and other national scrutiny developments.  We will explore approaches and tools for performance improvements and service developments.  

Who is it for

It is suitable for RSL members, as a member of this community of practice you can expect to have access to at least two events per year, a dedicated online discussion forum, data dashboards, the opportunity to become involved in working groups or research collaborations, access to guidance documents and other publications. This community will also have the opportunity to collaborate with performance colleagues within local authorities.
