The Tenant Scrutiny and Overview Panel is a great way to shape the services you receive from Cartrefi Conwy

The scrutiny panel is a formal group that works closely with us to really dig deep into specific topic- for example their last big task was to review and make recommendations about our fire safety procedures.  They have started meeting again and will be taking on some more big challenges in 2022 and 2023.   If you are interested in learning more about the Scrutiny Panel please contact Aimee on aimee.corbett@cartreficonwy.org

What is the role of the Scrutiny & Overview Panel?

In simple terms, tenant scrutiny allows a small group of tenants to investigate and comment on some of the services that Cartrefi Conwy provides to tenants. As a member of the  Panel you will review and report on how well you feel Cartrefi Conwy is doing and give your recommendations for improvement at meetings of the Cartrefi Conwy Tenant Services Board.
