Joint Conference with TPAS & Salix Homes

Led by Tenants, with the help from the Tenant Participation Team and guidance from the Tenant Participation Advisory Services (TPAS)
3 December, 2009 at Manchester Conference Centre

With the fast approaching/forthcoming Resident Led Self Regulation (RLSR) the Tenant Management Team (TMT) New Charter Housing Trust (NCHT) held a joint conference with the Senate (Salix Homes).

The aim was to show the approach from two different housing organisations, Salix Homes being a Arms Length Management Organisation and NCHT being a Housing Association.

The aim was to show other Social Landlords and active tenants, how to set up RLSR from day one. This included information on how to set up a framework and the sharing of documents written by TMT which included Terms of Reference, Role Profile and Codes of Conduct.

Having started to plan the event in August 2009, working together, TMT members and Senators put together presentations for workshops and ran practice days.

The event was a huge success and, in fact, was oversubscribed. We received very good feedback from the delegates who attended and some stated that we had provided them with all the valuable tools to enable them to set up RLSR within their organisation.
