Focus Groups

What are Focus Groups?

Focus groups are a small group of tenants bought together for a short number of meetings with housing staff to achieve a set outcome or goal.

What's in it for you?

  • Help make a difference and improve the housing service.
  • Get to know your Landlord better.
  • Easy commitment - you only need to commit to a short number of sessions.
  • Add it to your CV - use and prove your skills in listening, finding problems and coming up with solutions.

  • Tenants were instrumental in helping us shape our strategy by considering best practice, looking at barriers to involvement and how DDC can run the service better.
  • All actions were agreed with tenants, with the strategy now going to Cabinet for approval.
