Kings House Conference Centre in Manchester was the new venue selected this year for the Arena Tracker Network Conference which took place on the 23rd May. More than 40 of the UK’s leading social housing providers from across the country were represented and all were keen to hear about how housing providers are adapting, within the political, economic and social environment in which they function, to meet the changing needs of residents and also what users see as priorities.
The keynote speaker at this years’ Arena Tracker Network Conference at the Kings House Conference Centre in Manchester in May was Matt Leach, the CEO of HACT, a housing sector think tank/do tank, relaunched in 2012 with support from ten of the largest and most forward thinking social landlords in the country.

When it comes to engaging with residents, nobody will have more experience than those on the front line. Through the Tracker Network we can put you in direct contact with a social housing provider that has personal experience of many of the issues you may be facing.
Recently completed research, sponsored by Tracker, has reviewed the impact that survey methodology, type and size have on response rates and resident satisfaction scores – generating some interesting and enlightening results which should help when developing and planning future survey programmes.
Two Network Members are starting trials of one of the latest developments within the Tracker Suite; the facility for tracking programmes of intervention and support for residents. Accord’s Add Ventures team is using the new ‘Programme Tracker’ module to manage its employment and skills support programme: tracking individual intervention journeys for clients and evaluating overall impact. This includes profiling the specific needs of each client, monitoring their personal support programme, tracking their progress with a series of feedback questionnaires and star evaluations, and then evaluating the overall impact achieved.
