Professional standards in action
See why and how different organisations like yours have embedded our professional standards in their organisational values, objectives, competency frameworks and development routes. Find out how professional standards come to life within their organisations.
Case studies
Abri
Abri has recently developed a framework to provide their colleagues with career direction and a wide variety of development routes, all intended to create housing professionals of the future in every discipline.
With many new entrants to the sector joining us, they needed a way to help them become housing professionals first. This framework supports every colleague to develop expertise in their own areas whilst ensuring the context of our sector is front and foremost for us all.
settle
The launch of the CIH professional standards came at a great time for settle. They recently introduced a new behavioural framework, 'the settle way', which helps identify their culture and working methods.
There is a clear alignment with the seven characteristics of the professional standards and 'the settle way' behaviours. Their plans for 2021 include weaving both 'the settle way' and its alignment to our professional standards into everything they do, creating a complete end-to-end cultural experience for all settle colleagues.
Succour Haven CIC
Succour Haven CIC serve the community through a combination of housing and person centred based empowerment and support, including the accessibility of local community support and wellbeing themed provision and public services.
They have adopted the professional standards by embedding them into the proactive delivery of their 'five steps of supported living' engagement and strategy themes with their tenants, along with the professional relationships with the clientele and partner agencies, including their operational and strategic planning activities and a reflection of the core values and beliefs.
