  • Update from Michael Boal, Scottish Government, Tenant Priorities Team on the current position of the Scottish Social Housing Charter Review.

  • Interactive workshops hosted by Perth and Kinross Council, Edinburgh Tenants Federation and Castle Rock Edinvar Housing Association’s Scrutiny Focus Group.
