Decision
RESOLVED:
The adoption of the Additional Needs to Thrive Housing Policy was agreed.
REASONS FOR DECISION
Policy has been subject to public consultation and is broadly supported.
The policy provides a framework for housing services to transform our offer to residents who have a range of additional needs, ensuring equality of access and outcome regardless of any barriers.
The policy will support the housing service to ensure compliance with a range of regulatory requirements including by the Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman.

Do nothing. To carry on without a policy would leave the council open to legal challenge, reputational risk, and importantly, risks to our residents. This is considered unacceptable.
