Digital Engagement: Adapting and Restarting
Tuesday 1 December, 11:00–12:00
Covid-19 has meant that traditional ways of engaging with tenants are no longer fit for purpose. TIS has developed a toolkit that will support members to adapt and restart communication with the aim of ensuring that all tenants are kept up to date and their voices are heard, including those who can't access digital resources.
Impact and Influence: Driving Effective Communications
Wednesday 2 December, 11:00–12:00
From the impact of Covid-19 to changes in housing policy and social care services, housing associations are increasingly on the frontline.
This session, delivered by Graeme Downie and Sally Trethewie of Orbit Communications, will outline some of these challenges and explain how communications teams can be prepared.
