Testing landlord services by assessing information and materials produced by landlords for their tenants.
Reviewing SHR draft publications and website facilities, and helping the SHR to make sure material is both accessible and user friendly for tenants.
Asking other service users for their views when the SHR assess the quality of service provided by social landlords to give the SHR a direct perspective to add to other regulatory evidence.
