Overview and Outcomes.
Overview
Housing with care is a distinct operating model where housing and care are designed and delivered together. This module compares general needs housing with extra care and supported living, then focuses on dual regulation: the housing regulator alongside the Care Quality Commission in England or Care Inspectorate Wales. It explores why extra care has grown and offers practical takeaways for leaders governing schemes at the boundary of two worlds. A housing association answers to a landscape of stakeholders rather than a single hierarchy, each holding different leverage. This module applies partnership theory to five stakeholders: the regulator, funders and lenders, the local authority, health and care partners, and tenants and residents, asking of each who the association is accountable to and for what. It looks at where stakeholder management goes wrong and how to lead across England and Wales.
What you'll develop
In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:
- Distinguish general needs housing, extra care housing and supported living by purpose, population and the support built into the offer.
- Explain dual regulation, identifying which body regulates the housing and which regulates the care in England and in Wales.
- Plan governance and assurance that covers both the housing and care regulatory positions of a scheme, including where care is delivered by a partner.
- Identify the five key stakeholders of a housing association and describe what the association is accountable to each of them for.
- Explain why a housing association's accountability forms a landscape rather than a hierarchy, and why tenants sit at its centre.
