The Social Housing Safety Network Scotland: Over 50 members, and counting!

We’ve now welcomed over 50 members, and counting! 

Who are we?

The Network was created to focus on tenant and resident safety in Scotland and to provide information, guidance and networking collaboration for local authority and housing association landlords, as well as housing co-operatives; we encourage our members to tell us what they would like to see and the topic areas where they would like a focus. 

Membership is open to social housing providers based in Scotland and you can see who most of our current members are, here. 

The benefits of joining continue to grow as the Network expands, these include:

    • Self-assessment checklists
    • Legislation tracker and KPI scorecard
    • ‘Big 6+’ policy and procedure sense check
    • Training matrix template
    • Dedicated resource website
    • ‘Quick Guides’ and briefings
    • Free and discounted webinars and events/get-togethers
    • Discount on training offered through Housing H&S Compliance UK Ltd
    • Self-study ‘Knowledge Builders’

As the Network grows, we call upon our members for ideas and feedback to ensure the content provides up-to-date, relevant information and is driven by everyone who is part of the Network. 

We’ve already held a number of free events and networking opportunities, which have brought together colleagues from the sector to share ideas and talk about specific topics, including fire safety, management of contractors, asbestos and district heating.

We’ve also created The Scotland Safety Network Advisory Panel (SSNAP), which is formed of the co-founders of the Network alongside a small group of tenant and resident / compliance / health and safety colleagues from within member organisations who have volunteered their time to help shape the network, bringing ideas and expertise together to drive the network forward.
