Residents' Action Panel

Our Residents’ Action Panel (RAP) addresses and discusses issues and decisions that affect or involve residents.

The RAP meets approximately every two months, and has a direct link to our Board of Management, through the meeting minutes and our Tenant Board Members.

 

The RAP is made up of residents selected by our Service Interest Groups, along with residents co-opted for the skills they bring to the group. Our four Tenant Board Members also sit on the RAP.

The purpose of the RAP is to be recognised and accepted as the main representative and consultative body for issues affecting residents of Saxon Weald.
The aims of the RAP are to:
• Be independent and resident led, with a mandate to represent the views and interests of Saxon Weald’s residents - a direct voice and serious recognition.
• Be involved in and consulted on all things that matter to or affect Saxon Weald residents, ensuring that they get a fair deal, with their views listened to and acted on.
• Help improve Saxon Weald’s performance and make the association accountable to its residents.
• Work in partnership with Saxon Weald to ensure that resident involvement is accepted as an integral and valued part of its work.
• Be involved in national, regional and local activities and consultations.
• Become a knowledgeable, effective and respected group.
• Be recognised as an active, powerful and influential representative body.
