Newsletters will from now on come in e-format, although we will still offer a printed version to delegates at the 10th National Conference, this year being held in Leeds on Friday 26th November 2010 (more information is within this alert).
It is clear to see that there is much important work being done in the world of Accreditation across the United Kingdom, and we want to keep members up to date so we can learn and develop off each other. The Accreditation Network UK (ANUK) provides a strategic oversight and networking opportunities for members who are involved in running, developing or thinking about accreditation and its role in improving property standard and housing management.

The whole housing agenda is shifting to enhance localism, share services and make the best use of contracting resources. Landlord Accreditation has been a tried and tested tool over the last 10 years to cost-effectively improve both housing management and physical standards within the private rented sector across the country.

The ANUK Network and Executive continue to strive for recognition of the value of Landlord Accreditation Schemes and the need for a consistent standard to be applied across the board, providing clarity of function for both landlords and tenants alike as well as to those involved within the field of private sector housing. I am in no doubt that it will be an exciting and rewarding year to come.
