About

This Forum is concerned with all aspects of tenant participation, customer engagement and wider community involvement by landlord organisations. There are good practice, legal and regulatory requirements to consult customers, to report performance to tenants, to collect data in relation to protected characteristics and to use that data to influence policy and practice development. All aspects of customer engagement will be discussed at this Forum

Who is it for

This community of practice is primarily for LA members and will meet twice per year. As a member of this community of practice you can also expect to have access to a dedicated online discussion forum, the opportunity to become involved in working groups or research collaborations, access to guidance documents and other publications.
