What is STAIRs?
The Social Tenants Access to Information Requirements Scheme (STAIRs) is a new regulatory standard introduced by the UK Government to make it easier for social tenants to access important information about their home, their landlord, and the services they receive.
The scheme is designed to increase transparency and accountability by helping you understand how decisions are made, how services are performing and how you can hold us to account.
Publication Scheme
The first stage of STAIRs is the Publication Scheme, which goes live in October 2026.
Our Publication Scheme brings important information about our housing services together in one place making it easier for you to find key information without having to ask. We’ll regularly review the information published here to ensure it remains accurate and up to date. We will also add new information to this scheme when we’re required to, and whenever we think it will be useful and relevant to you.
We've organised the information into the sections below to help you find what you’re looking for:
This includes information about
- how decisions are made
- our policies
- service performance
- complaints and how they are handled
- spending and investment in homes and services
- resident engagement and consultation activities
