Key Facts

Current housing policy and practice present Local Authorities [LAs] and Approved Housing Bodies [AHBs] with challenges of an unprecedented nature and place increased pressure on staff in both entities to deliver on the objectives of governmental programmes. These interactive workshops for housing professionals in, or seeking, a leadership/management role, will encourage critical engagement from participants on current policy and new thinking in this area. The programme will inform key housing professionals of the challenges associated with policy implementation whilst seeking to address these challenges in a strategic manner.

Who Is It For?

The workshops are aimed at current and future housing professionals in Local Authorities and Approved Housing Bodies.

Delivery Method

The programme consists of 5 themed workshops that will include lectures from experienced housing professionals, facilitated group discussions and a small research project to be carried out at Workshop 5. The workshops seek to consolidate and expand the knowledge of housing professionals and increase the cadre of skilled professionals working in this sector. It will also provide participants with an opportunity to share their experiences and ideas with fellow practitioners with the ultimate aim of increasing the professionalisation of housing.
