Collaborate - Resident Engagement in Building Safety

 

Tpas is launching our next Collaborate, this time it's examining Resident Engagement in Building Safety. You will benefit from working with peers, Tpas and thought-provoking facilitators to develop innovative and effective routes to proven resident engagement in Building Safety. 


This project will include:  

  • Understanding the context and background to the Building Safety Act with regard to the expectations for effective resident engagement  
  • Providing a safe environment for you to learn and develop your ideas in a collaborative and collegiate way  
  • Resulting in you leaving with a tangible action plan based on your own contextual evidence, enabling you to deliver evidence-based engagement with residents living in high-risk buildings   

 
The project will conclude with a learning report showcasing findings from the project.   


Through a series of one-day in-person workshops, you will work through issues you and your organisations are facing in implementing successful engagement with residents in relation to Building Safety. Each organisation that joins will have up to four places at each workshop, creating sufficient space for colleagues to participate at a detailed level, or for a variety of colleagues to attend different sessions.
