Tenant Inspector Training

If you would like to become a volunteer tenant inspector the training is ongoing.  The time you commit as a volunteer is agreed to suit your individual needs. Currently the tenant inspectors are looking at the communal cleaning standards across Tamworth.  These are then summarised and discussed with the estates manager to review improvements in services.

How can I access free training?

You will need to complete a Housing Sounding Board registration form by contacting the tenant participation team.  You will then be added to the database of tenant involvement and invited on relevant training.  Places can be limited but we will try to meet people's needs where possible.
