Tenant Involvement Strategy 2021 – 2026
The purpose of this strategy is to reinforce our commitment to Tenant Involvement to ensure that tenants and Retirement Living leaseholders can influence the housing services delivered to them. This commitment will be delivered through our four strategic priorities:
Involvement – ensuring as many tenants and Retirement Living leaseholders who want to be involved, can engage in a way that suits them.
Engagement opportunities – offering a wide range of opportunities for tenants and Retirement Living leaseholders to participate.
Transparency –we will be open and honest with tenants and Retirement Living leaseholders in our communications.
Valuing tenants and Retirement Living leaseholder’s contribution – we will show that we value their contribution through our WDC Tenant Involvement Recognition Scheme 2022 and by reimbursing costs involved in their involvement and by acknowledging their valued participation.
