As a registered social landlord, TDC is subject to regulation and legislation by which we must ensure compliance with. This ensures that we provide decent, warm and safe homes and good service to our tenants and leaseholders.
Policies are the rules to which we work by, providing a framework that ensures our compliance with regulations and legislation.
New policies are introduced into the service following lessons learnt exercises identifying a gap or when legislation/regulations change. Current policies require review on a regular basis. They can be subject to revisions after an analysis of how they have been performing during the period or if there is a change in legislation.
There are 2 new policies seeking approval to be adopted and published on the councils website by cabinet and 3 policies that have been subject to a review.
