Hounslow Tenant and Leaseholder Scrutiny Board
If you are passionate about tenants having a voice, able to work as a team and want to challenge how Hounslow Housing performs, the HTLSB would love to hear from you. The work of the HTLSB is varied giving you the opportunity to use existing skills or learn new ones. It may involve taking part in or running team discussions, analysing performance data and other types of information, designing or carrying out surveys, interviewing officers, reading technical information, writing reports and making presentations.
There are two ways to get involved – you could either:
- Apply to become a member of the Board; No formal qualifications are required to become a Scrutiny Board Member but you will be expected to regularly attend board meetings (about 1 every month). Training in different aspects of the Board’s work will be provided if necessary. This is a longer term commitment, agreeing what to investigate, overseeing reviews and presenting reports to officers and councillors as well as carrying out the reviews themselves
- Volunteer to work on a review: If you have professional skills to offer, but can’t make a regular commitment, then you could volunteer to work on a Review Project that the board has chosen to carry out. The kind of skills needed for a review include: project management, data analysis, questionnaire and document design, process mapping, and report writing.
If you are interested in either of the above, please contact the HTLSB. It is likely that a Board member will want to meet with you to ensure that you have the relevant skills and a full understanding of the role you are interested in and to give you the opportunity to ask questions
