Parents Notice Board

Chelmer Housing Partnership New Customer Review Panel (CHP)

The Customer Review Panel will be a panel of customers and non-customers who scrutinise CHP’s performance and hold us to account. They will present a customer perspective and voice on our operations, and make recommendations to our Board.

At CHP, we’d love to get the perspective of diverse groups involved, and we are particularly keen to get younger residents involved in the panel. Parents joining the Customer Review Panel would give us insight into how our homes are working for their families, and would really help us to make sure we grow and operate in ways that benefit our customers.

The panel is by interview, so any interested candidates would have to submit an expression of interest form and then sit an interview.

Volunteering on the panel is an excellent opportunity for meeting new people, influencing our services and having a say in their communities. Additionally, all members of the panel will receive training in various things such as scrutiny, report writing, and analysis – skills that will be useful for a CV or professional development in general.

Commitment will be a minimum of 4 meetings a year. Expenses incurred for attending meetings can be covered by CHP – including things such as childcare or transport to meetings. We will make sure that panel members have the equipment necessary for joining meetings, which for the time being will be virtual.

CHP are a social housing provider in Essex, if you would like to take part in CHP's new Customer Review Panel please click HERE to access the expression of interest form.
