The believe housing Customer Voices group met in person on Tuesday, 17 June.
This was the panel’s first full meeting since the Board’s decision to focus on scrutiny work, following customer consultation.
New terms of reference were agreed to align with this focus, which involves in-depth reviews of believe housing’s services and policies to help shape and enhance performance.
