What Does it Mean to Be Competent and Qualified in Housing?

This week’s Round Table tackled a deceptively simple question: what does it really mean to be competent and qualified in social housing?

Led by Samantha Whenman, this session sparked honest debate about skills, standards, assumptions and accountability across the sector. With over 60 attendees, the conversation highlighted just how complex and overdue this discussion is.

From formal qualifications to lived experience, and from regulatory frameworks to on-the-ground realities, this session asked the sector to reflect on what it values, and how that translates into practice.

Big thank you to Case Management Solutions Group Ltd and Alertacall Ltd for sponsoring The Social Housing Round Table, without them, none of this would be possible.
