In early 2010 the National Housing Federation was commissioned by the National Apprenticeship Service to produce a report on the level of apprenticeship activity with housing associations. This report sets out our findings with recommendations for future action. The report also contains a series of detailed case studies from across the country which highlight in some detail what members are doing and the areas in which they are recruiting apprentices to include construction, housing management, business administration and horticulture among others.

SAVE Britain’s Heritage has published a report which is critical of the discontinued Housing Market Renewal (HMR) Pathfinder programme. The report includes a paragraph-by-paragraph critique of the recent Audit Commission report by researcher Bill Finlay, and an introduction by planner and Liverpool resident Jonathan Brown, detailing the effects of the scheme in his city. SAVE’s report makes the following recommendations: new funding should be targeted mainly at repair and refurbishment; Mega-Social-Landlords driven by development ambitions must be brought under tight democratic control to make them better neighbours; area-based retro-fit to high environmental standards will help renew market confidence and generate economic opportunity in deprived areas much more effectively than expensive HMR quangos; the constitutional implications of Compulsory Purchase Order powers over private home owners need to be carefully reviewed by Parliament; a more respectful approach to deprived neighbourhoods that does not assume those with power necessarily know best is required.
