TPAS Accreditation
Albyn Housing Society was awarded Silver accreditation for excellence in customer participation and engagement by the Tenant Participation Advisory Service (TPAS) Scotland in 2017. The process included an in-depth assessment of our tenant participation strategy, meeting with the Milton-Albyn Forum and meetings with tenants and staff to assess Albyn's performance across the ten standards. These include providing good information to tenants and having effective involvement structures.
Achieving the accreditation award provides recognition for the hard work carried out by our tenant representatives and staff. We would like to thank all those who took part.
