Allocation Policies
From a more light touch review of your policy, with relatively minor changes to delivery of
a new Allocations Policy through a more fundamental review and consultation exercise,
you can pick and choose from the 9 elements set out below.
​
We can help you to develop and write your new Allocation Policy. This is a comprehensive exercise providing support and paperwork covering all the major stages in developing
a new Allocation Policy and includes:
​
1. An analysis of your current Allocation Policy with a report covering:
• Whether it meets the legal requirements under Part 6 and case law and the Equalities Act
• Whether it meets your objectives
• Options for change
​
2. Facilitating meetings with housing association partners and key stakeholders on the options for change and to obtain ‘buy in’ for changes and overcoming any areas of dispute re current working practices
​
3. Briefing with Members to understand the impact of the current policy, why change is needed
and options for change
​
4. Drafting new Allocations Policy containing options re qualification, banding, choice,
criteria for an award of reasonable preference
​
5. Producing the final Allocation Policy for consultation
​
6. Writing the consultation document
7. Carrying out the consultation and coordinating the feedback
8. Preparing the final Allocation Policy post consultation
9. Preparing the Equality Impact Assessment
