Enter our competition to tell us how you’re raising awareness and co-produce with residents
Making your residents feel safe and secure is a vital part of a landlord’s role to help residents feel empowered in their homes. What’s your strategy?
The first and most important priority for social landlords is to build high-quality homes that are safe to live in. However the Hackitt Report also made it clear that in order to achieve this, it is vital for residents to have a strong voice and ability to provide independent input into landlords’ safety policies.
In 2019, Inside Housing launched a competition, in association with Aico, that sought to uncover good practice from social landlords on how they have engaged residents and worked with them to raise awareness of safety issues. The idea was to flag up the very best approaches from across the sector and then help to spread the learning.
Now we are continuing the campaign and competition to find great work in the sector and to hear more from landlords and residents who are working together.
Inside Housing and Aico would like to hear about an initiative that identified and tackled issues surrounding residential safety and engaged residents.
How to enter
- This competition is open to all social landlords and it is free to enter
- Provide evidence of the project including images where possible

Winners will:
