  10. Initial Findings • We need a new TP strategy to reflect our new organisation • Not all tenants aware of TP structure – particularly General Needs Tenants – we need to improve communication • Current Structure works for Sheltered Tenants- we need to consider how to engage better with general needs tenants • Role of scheme co- ordinators very effective • Clear gap in the involvement of General Needs and ‘Hard to Reach’ Tenants • Forum members need clarity of roles and responsibilities- development of Training Needs Analysis • Need for training and enhanced information for staff and Tenant Forum members

  11. Suggestions • The development of a ‘menu’ of involvement choices for tenants • Promotion of General Needs tenant involvement • The appointment of a dedicated Tenant Participation Officer/Team • The development of Terms of Reference for Forums including roles and responsibilities • Highlight Best Practice within Sheltered Schemes

  12. Suggestions • Clear communication channels and an effective structure of decision making • Strategic organisational approach to TP- not just housing • Encourage TP when tenants are being signed up • Use Sheltered Schemes as a ‘Hub’ for Tenant Involvement in that particular area

  13. What now? • Consultation with tenants and staff re draft strategy • Finalised version approved by tenants; staff and Board • Implementation of OakleeTrinity’s Tenants’ Participation strategy
