There will be occasions when, despite earlier work, a tenant is accruing rent arrears and the focus moves to recovery. This stage in the process requires a different approach and new skills to achieve the twin objectives of recovering arrears and sustaining tenancies.


Securing a positive outcome takes more than a well designed and implemented escalation policy: the combination of both soft and technical skills sits at the heart of success.


This course is for officers, team leaders and managers with income management/revenue protection responsibilities.
