Help Shape the Policies That Affect Your Home

Become part of our Tenant Voice Panel and help shape the policies and services that impact everyday life in Dacorum. Your lived experience matters, and your insight helps guide the future of housing in our community.

What the Tenant Voice Panel Does

The Tenant Voice Panel is a group of tenants who work closely with Dacorum Borough Council to ensure tenant views are heard, valued, and acted upon.
As a panel member, you will:

• Provide feedback that helps shape housing services

• Review how well the Council is performing as a landlord

• Suggest improvements based on your lived experience

• Represent the views of tenants across Dacorum

While the panel does not make final decisions or approve documents, your contributions play an essential role in influencing the Council’s approach and ensuring tenant needs remain at the centre of our work.
The panel also helps the Council meet requirements set by the Regulator of Social Housing and the Housing Ombudsman.

Improve the Services You Rely On

From repairs to neighbourhood maintenance, your insight helps strengthen the services that matter most. Tell us what’s working well and what needs to change.

Ensure Tenant Voices Are Heard at Every Level

You’ll take part in discussions that ensure real tenant experiences guide our decisions. When tenant voices are included, communities thrive and your voice can help lead the way.

Influence How Housing Is Managed Behind the Scenes

Panel members help review processes, challenge outdated practices, and explore better ways of working. What you see day-to-day as a tenant provides unique insight that helps improve how housing is run.

Shape Long-Term Strategy and Future Planning

Your role goes beyond current services. You’ll contribute to long-term thinking and help ensure future plans reflect the real needs of people living in Dacorum.
