Housing is a socially
sensitive area whether you are a local authority, housing association or ALMO.
Today, social inclusion is not just expected but demanded. Against a background
of tight budgets and complex communities, how can you be sure you are doing the
right thing for the right price?
That’s where brap comes in.
We are passionately committed to equality and to that end have put together a
range of highly cost effective strategies to ensure better ways to engage with
your residents. We’ll help you develop people-centred services that meet the
aspirations of every resident and
tenant.
Needs analysis
We’ll work with you to
profile your community to understand its diverse range of needs and desires,
and help you weigh up the benefits of different equality options. From
interviews with your residents to examples of best practice from other housing
associations, this package will result in best service for your community.
Strategic planning
We can work with you to put
equality measures into practice. The strategic planning package will assess the
quality of your plan and ensure it meets the requirements of all equality
legislation.
Implementation support
Meeting the quality
standards of the Housing Corporation and other mandatory requirements is not always
easy. But with brap’s suite of implementation support packages it is possible
to select from a wide range of options to significantly improve your
effectiveness in meeting standards. The options include staff training, bespoke
seminars, workshops, mentoring for managers, equality impact assessment,
community cohesion assessment and much more.
Monitoring
Housing associations are
expected to be able to measure their progress on equality across a range of
areas. At brap we can help you develop the best systems for this, starting with
a baseline assessment of your current situation. We will also transfer our
knowledge of the skills and tools needed to make the most of the information
gained from monitoring. It all goes towards a future of greater fairness,
efficiency and cost effectiveness. |
