Developing and reviewing your Tenant Participation Strategy

TIS can support tenants and landlords to develop and implement their tenant participation strategies. TIS produced the Good Practice Framework for Tenant Participation in Scotland funded by Communities Scotland, which is now in an easy to use guide. We have worked with tenants and local authorities and Registered Social Landlords throughout the country to improve participation and involve more tenants. TIS have produced a useful checklist you can use to review how well your tenant participation is working.
