Social housing tenants - support to engage: research report
A research report on the baseline of support available for social housing tenants in Scotland to engage and participate with their landlord's work.
6 Recommendations
6.1 Landlords should have succession planning arrangements in place for tenant groups and scrutiny panels to ensure that participation continues when tenants move on. To support this, the Scottish Government should consider developing best practice guidance on succession planning for tenant scrutiny panels, RTOs and other tenant groups.
6.2 Landlords should discuss and agree with tenants and RTO’s the support that they will provide to allow those who want to participate to do so. Details of this should be included within Tenant Participation strategies.
6.3 Landlords should consider having a dedicated tenant participation area on their websites which is clearly signposted and easy to find. This would make it easier for tenants to access Tenant Participation strategies plus any other information, documents and contact details relating to tenant participation.
6.3 Landlords should report on the progress of their Tenant Participation Strategy, potentially as part of their annual performance report, as contained within the Guide to Successful Tenant Participation: https://www.gov.scot/publications/guide-successful-tenant-participation/
