Tenant Engagement Strategy Consultation – Have Your Say.

Sandwell Council is committed to putting tenants at the heart of our housing services. The tenant engagement strategy sets out how we will listen to, involve, and work alongside tenants to shape the homes and communities where they live.

Our key aims are to:

  • Strengthen the tenant voice in decisions and service design
  • Improve communication and transparency across housing services
  • Make it easy and accessible for everyone to get involved
  • Promote accountability through regular feedback and performance monitoring
  • Build trust and stronger partnerships between tenants and the council

This strategy has been co-produced with tenants and our key partner, Sandwell Community Information and Participation Services (SCIPS). It supports our wider housing ambitions and demonstrates our commitment to quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
