10:45- 11:30am Kingdom Housing Association: Improving the New Build Experience

This session Kingdom customers and staff reflect on their recent tenant scrutiny project examining the quality assurance and handover process for new build homes. Supported by TIS, the session will explore how the scrutiny group planned and carried out the review, the evidence they gathered, the recommendations they developed and the impact the project has already had. Hear first-hand about the value of collaborative scrutiny and the lessons learned from working together to improve services.

11:45pm- 12:30pm  Networking

Connect with fellow delegates, share experiences and continue the conversation in an informal setting. Whether you’re looking to exchange ideas, discuss common challenges, learn from different approaches or make new professional contacts, this dedicated networking session provides the space to build relationships and explore opportunities for future collaboration across the sector. Light-touch networking activities will help participants meet new people and make the most of the session. 


12:30pm- 1:30pm  Lunch


1:30pm-2:15pm  State of Play: Turning Data into Insight 

This interactive workshop will explore some of the data gathered so far form our State of Play research project as we begin to consider what they could mean in practice. Working in small groups, participants will explore themes, reflect on what surprised them, how the findings compare with their expectations, and what additional evidence or insights would help build a fuller picture. The session will also provide an opportunity to shape the next phase of the project by identifying the questions, themes and examples that would make future case studies most relevant and useful to you and your organisation. 


2:15pm- 2:30pm Refreshment break
