Collaboration in action – latest working group updates
Our SHINE working groups provide valuable opportunities for colleagues across the sector to come together, share experiences and tackle common challenges.
Current groups
Our Awaab's Law Working Group originally brought housing professionals together to discuss and share best practice on Phase 1. It's now expanded to cover Phase 2 of Awaab’s Law, including what organisations need to consider as preparations continue. Anyone wishing to join is encouraged to contact Steve.Bird@beyondhousing.co.uk.
Our Data Working Group continues to grow, bringing together people with an interest in data governance, data culture and making better use of data to improve outcomes for customers. The group provides a space to share ideas, discuss challenges and explore how organisations can turn data into meaningful insight. You can join the group by emailing Alice.Vansertima@believehousing.co.uk.
Our Professionalisation of Skills Working Group was established ahead of the Competence and Conduct Standard coming into effect, which requires registered providers to ensure all relevant staff have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience and behaviours for delivering good‑quality landlord services.

Our AI Group was initiated to share practical learning and co-design solutions. Email hello@weareshine.net for more information.
