Is There a Seat at the Table? Ethnic Minority Voices in Tenant Engagement

Tune in to what is a compelling discussion on the critical issue of ethnic minority representation in social housing. Our guest, Kai Jackson, shares her groundbreaking research and the journey that led her to uncover the systemic barriers and generational mistrust that hinder engagement.

In this episode, we delve into the key findings from Kai's report, exploring the challenges faced by both tenants and staff in creating a truly inclusive environment. We discuss the importance of cultural competency, targeted communication and proactive outreach in building trust and fostering meaningful engagement.

We also examine the innovative "Table Principles" developed by Kai, a framework designed to drive sustainable change and move beyond tick-box exercises. Learn how these principles can be implemented to enhance staff competency, strengthen data system, and allocate resources effectively to support tenant engagement initiatives.

Join us as we shed light on the crucial role that ethnic minority voices play in shaping a more equitable and representative social housing sector. Together, let's break down barriers and build a stronger, more inclusive community for all.
