Sandwell Tenants and Residents Training (START)
START (Sandwell Tenants and Residents Training) has been put together by officers from Sandwell Homes and SCIPS (Sandwell Community Information and
Participation Services) with the support of a number of tenants and residents
associations who also helped identify what sort of training should be included in the programme by taking part in a survey. We would like to thank all the groups that helped develop the START training.
START is designed to help Sandwell Council
tenants and residents play a more active role in housing matters by
helping them to get the training they need and covers the
training that any tenant or group can apply for.
As well as the START programme Sandwell Homes
also provides other training, such as
training for new members of Housing Service Panels or new
Tenant Board Members. This training is always offered to such
persons, and does not need to be applied for.
SCIPS also offer a wide range of training opportunities in addition to those provided by START.
In-house training courses are run in Sandwell, usually by
employees of Sandwell Homes, SCIPS or Sandwell Council.
These courses are free of charge to Sandwell residents.
They are run as and when there is enough demand, normally at least four interested people would needed
before a course could go ahead. We will always try to hold the
training at a venue to suit you.
There are also a number of other organisations that offer training
courses for tenants. The topics covered and the times that they are run
will vary, but many of these courses are offered at a discounted rate for tenants,
and Sandwell Homes may be able to assist with the costs of external training.
