CIH members are invited to hear from housing associations who are working to incorporate the voice of residents across their respective organisations. There will be an opportunity to ask questions and gain valuable insight into their commitment to recommendation five.
In May 2023, the National Housing Federation (NHF) and the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) released an action plan outlining their working alongside housing associations to deliver on the Better Social Housing Review's (BSHR) recommendations.
This webinar will highlight the work of members who are actively delivering on recommendation five of the BSHR, ensuring tenants have a voice and influence at every level of decision-making.
The Better Social Housing Review: Knowing our Homes
The National Housing Federation (NHF) invites CIH members to attend this webinar that will update them on the progress and next steps of Knowing our Homes: how we improve data collection on the condition of our homes and improve outcome, part of the BSHR.
In particular, this webinar will focus on the new project Make Every Contact Count: We know that many housing associations and partners in the NHS are already using this approach to make the most of existing touchpoints to check on homes and the wellbeing of residents. NHF’s new research, launching later this year, will share this approach in a practical form, making it simple for your teams to learn from it and decide how you might adopt it in your organisation.
