Are there any plans to monitor the implementation of compacts?
DTLR (now Communities and Local Government) and Housing Corporation commissioned Aldbourne Associates to monitor the first year implementation of best value in housing (bvh) and tenant participation compacts (tpc) from April 2000. A summary of the findings – Implementing Best Value in Housing and Tenant Participation Compacts – was published in 2002 and is available on the link above. More recently, ODPM (now Communities and Local Government) commissioned Aldbourne Associates to undertake an interim evaluation of compacts as part of the current review of the main guidance on compacts – The National Framework for Tenant Participation Compacts. This interim evaluation – Interim Evaluation of Tenant Participation Compacts – was published in 2003 and is also available on the link above. The research found that all Councils have now published compacts and, overall, they have provided tenants with greater opportunities to get involved in decision-making about their homes.
