Together with Tenants charter
Our charter is a set of measurable commitments that has been developed by listening and working together with tenants, to make a difference and create services that are person-centred, inclusive, and work. It also outlines what we’re planning to do by listening to your feedback and how we will report on what we’ve done, to give you confidence that we are doing what we said we were going to do. You can view the charter by clicking here. We’ve now published our Together with Tenants Charter April – June 2023 performance which you can view by clicking here. From this you can see that we’re on track in some areas, it also shows we haven’t got it quite right in others and that we still have lots to do, and our teams are working hard to reach our ambitious targets. We’re at the start of this journey, and we’re confident that, with time and working with you, over the next year we can reach the goals set.
