Partners, David Alcock and Sarah Patrice, have been involved in reviewing the new Code of Governance for community-led housing, published on 21 May 2021 by the Confederation for Coop Housing. The code will help enable community-led housing organisations to govern themselves well and give the assurance that communities, funders and (importantly) the Regulator of Social Housing need.
As the code itself explains, good governance is about defining and reviewing:
- what an organisation is; what is it there to achieve? what is its mission? what are its vision and values?
- the structures, standards, policies, strategies and financial and other arrangements which will result in the organisation achieving its aims;
- the risks that might prevent the organisation from achieving its aims.
