Residents Academies
From 2010 the Council will be offering people in Perth and
Kinross the chance to take part in training courses to help them
learn more about housing services. This training will support
people to become involved in shaping the way we deliver services in
the future by helping to broaden their knowledge and understanding
of housing services, and the way we operate as a landlord.
The Perth and Kinross Residents' Academies are an important element
of the Council's
Tenant Participation Strategy [PDF: 150Kb] for 2010-2013, and
particularly in achieving one of the aims of the strategy that we
will:
- Ensure all tenants are encouraged and adequately resourced to
fully engage in the participation process and be involved in
decisions which affect them.
The Residents' Academies will offer a two-day introductory course
which:
- Explains the background and purpose of resident
inspection;
- Outlines and practises some keys skills and competencies for
becoming a member of the Perth and Kinross
Quality Panel.
- Enables residents to plan their future involvement and
development.
- Encourages residents to progress to a longer course which will
lead to a nationally recognised vocational qualification (Chartered
Institute of Housing Level 2 Certificate in Housing).
