The Blended Social Housing Compass
Online & face-to-face


Want the best of both worlds?

After discussions with many organisations, we appreciate that for some organisations, and individuals, neither the exclusive e-learning route nor the one day face-to-face version of The Social Housing Compass will be completely satisfactory.

We are therefore offering a range of tailor-made blended versions - incorporating the best elements of both Compass courses:

  • Needs assessment before the start of the course
  • Access to selected parts of the online Social Housing Compass course (either as part of the collaborative or self-paced course OR dedicated client-source space)
  • Optional tailor-made and customised online content
  • Online tutor support
  • Tailor-made face-to-face sessions (negotiated with client)
  • Post-course membership of the 'compass community' - an online Forum where course completers can continue their learning together, exchange information and access information from a variety of information sources
Content & course objectives

During the course, learners will be provided with key information about the history of Social Housing, its functions, structures and key players, current issues and latest developments. Issues to be looked into will include:

  • Basic Social Housing jargon
  • How Social Housing developed
  • Current status and role of Social Housing
  • How Housing Associations are structured and how they function
  • Difference and relationship between local authority Social Housing and Housing Associations (including stock transfer)
  • Key players in the Social Housing sector
  • Current political circumstances that influence Social Housing
  • Social housing funding & new developments
  • Burning issues in Social Housing
  • Where to find further information on Social Housing and how to use it effectively
