We are excited to present our draft Tenant Participation, Engagement and Scrutiny Strategy. This is your chance to share your thoughts on the Strategies Vision, Aims and Action Plan. The consultation will run from 4 November 2024 until 30 November 2024 and we welcome your feedback.

The Strategy – What is it?

It outlines East Ayrshire Council’s commitment to tenant involvement and highlights the range of opportunities available to tenants, service users and other customers. It also explains how tenant participation, engagement and scrutiny will be supported and resourced, action that will be taken to ensure the continued development of effective participation and how these will be monitored.

What does it do?

The introduction of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 created a legal requirement for Councils and Social Landlords to have a Tenant Participation Strategy developed in partnership with tenants and other customers. It facilitates the following in East Ayrshire:

  • Work with East Ayrshire Council’s Housing and Communities Services.
  • Provide a range of opportunities for tenants to engage in tenant scrutiny of Housing and related services and give their views on service standards.
  • Ensure that services are delivered to a high standard and that service users are at the heart of the organisation.
  • Independent tenant review and monitor service delivery and performance.
  • Highlight positive examples of working practices and report recommendations on how services can be improved.
  • Communicate and keep tenants and service users informed whilst encouraging participation.
  • Monitor and review agreed action plans.

Vision and Strategic Aims

Our draft vision is:

“Putting tenants and other customers at the heart of everything we do in order to maximise involvement in the scrutiny of Housing and Communities Services”.

The Strategy outlines five Strategic Aims:

  • Aim 1: Ensure tenants are well informed
  • Aim 2: Seek and listen to tenants’ views before making decisions.
  • Aim 3: Further develop the range of ways for tenants to influence services and future developments.
  • Aim 4: Provide resources and support.
  • Aim 5: Monitor, review and report on successes and challenges.

Action Plan

Our Action Plan contains objectives for the lifespan of the Strategy and allows us to implement, measure progress and evaluate the positive impacts of the Strategy Aims.
