National Tenants Voice (NTV)

The aims of the NTV are:

• enabling or facilitating tenants to speak for themselves to influence national policy
• undertaking and commissioning research to ensure that the views and experiences of tenants, particularly those who are not in tenants' organisations, are taken into account
• supporting national and regional tenants' organisations - helping build and strengthen tenants' organisations at regional and national level
• developing new ways of speaking to and listening to the views of tenants.

A structure was agreed last year after suggestions from a project group and a series of consultation events throughout the country. This will consist of a "Tenant council" of 50 members and a ‘day-to-day’ management committee. There are a series of further consultation events taking place at the moment to consider taking development further. The TPAS website has further details of venues and times or fill in the attached form. Alternatively, contact your local resident involvement team..
