A legal requirement of the Housing (Scotland) Act 2001 is for the Co-operative to have in place a Tenant Participation Strategy which is reviewed on a regular basis.  The strategy sets out our aims and commitment to involving tenants and service users and says how we will do this.

Our strategy aims to be practical and recognises some of the difficulties associated with participation.  We respect people’s wishes not to participate but will continue to offer opportunities to become involved.

As part of our strategy, we carry out the following activities:
