Resident Involvement Conference 2019 – Co-creation and Collaboration

We are pleased to announce that the hugely popular Resident Involvement conference will take place on Wednesday 19 June 2019 at the Principal York Hotel, York between 10:00am and 17:00pm.

There were strong messages in the Social Housing Green Paper to ensure a more effective relationship between tenants and residents and their landlord, including calls for transparency, accountability, supporting a move towards co-creation and collaboration to oversee changes in involvement and to shape services.

Many landlords are rising to the challenge and have found smarter, new and innovative ways to meet those challenges.

Whichever way you involve residents, this conference is for you.

Participate and ask questions in a Panel debate, including

• Hearing about changes to the consumer standards – Jonathan Walter, Deputy Director of Strategy and Performance at the Regulator of Social Housing
• Hearing about changes being discussed on Complaints management – Andrew Steen, Acting Housing Ombudsman
• Hear ideas to reduce the stigma of social housing – Melanie Rees, Head of Policy, Chartered institute of Housing
• Hear from Shelter on their Vision for Social Housing (invited)
• Hear from residents on advisory panels being formed to advise and challenge the norm on engagement and housing services (TBC)
