Assistance is required to develop the scope and breadth of these opportunities, to allow for maximum opportunity for tenants to engage in these activities.The Scrutiny Panel will review and provide recommendations for various parts of the Housing Service. Tenant Scrutiny aims to ensure that tenants have influence in working in partnership with Clackmannanshire Council to develop sound understanding and reasoning for its decisions, performance and strategic direction. Section 31 of The Housing (Scotland) Act 2010, through the establishment of the Scottish Social Housing Charter (the Charter), set the standards and outcomes that all social landlords should aim to achieve when performing their housing activities. The Charter therefore provides the legal framework, ensuring tenants input drives forward performance improvement.In terms of Tenant Scrutiny activity, it is envisaged that scrutiny activity and its findings will be presented regularly with recommendations and with opportunity for participation and feedback amongst stakeholders. Training and guidance will be required to be provided by the consultant for individuals participating in scrutiny activity and an agreed set of guidelines is to be developed by which the scrutiny panel will abide by in undertaking scrutiny works.
