Welcome to the Housing Advisory Network Annual Programme of Events
All Training events (Masterclasses, Workshops and Seminars) are fully certificated and are designed to coincide with major new initiatives and changes in policy direction. As such, the Programme is subject to change, and all our Members are notified of Programme alterations at least 8 weeks prior to a Series being advertised.
All of our Event materials are posted onto this web-site within 10 working days of the completion of a Series. Learning materials (including presentations, tool-kits & guidance may be easily downloaded from the ‘Events Materials’ section, and used to reinforce and share the training outcomes from each event.
The Senior Advisor and her Associates provide a ‘post event support service’ which ensures that an individual’s learning objectives can be fully realised in the work place, and that potential improvements to service quality and performance can be achieved.
Membership of the Housing Advisory Network guarantees free and priority places to all of these events up to the limit of the number of delegate places purchased, per annum. Members who have spent their allocation of free delegate places may choose to purchase additional places at the reduced rate of £275 + VAT per person.
Where capacity allows, delegates from non-member organisations may attend these events. The non-member delegate rate is £325 + VAT per person.

However there may be occasions when a new programme has to replace an existing programme already highlighted at short notice
