8 Dan - Why not have an easy read tenancy agreement instead of easy read guidance? Tracey said they are looking at having an easy read tenancy. They are hoping to have 1 made by May 2017 for new housing they are building. Dan - What is easy read guide for tenancy agreements? Tracey said it is for support workers to help people to make the right choices. Natalie - What happens if people break their tenancy agreement? Tracey said it depends on how serious it is. Sometimes people are given warnings and sometimes they have to move out. There are people who can help if this happens. Dan - Who are the Bournemouth and Poole Allocations Panel and what do they do? Tracey said there is not a panel in Bournemouth at the moment, but there is 1 in Poole. They are a group of different services who match people with the right type of housing. Amanda F - We did not understand what people not having capacity and the Court of Protections is. Tracey said that not having capacity means that someone might not understand their tenancy. If they are not able to understand the tenancy they cannot sign it. The Court of Protections helps to make the decision for someone if they do not have capacity. 8

The person would still get supported. Dan - How are you going to keep services informed about changes to welfare reform? Tracey said that sometimes changes happen really quickly and sometimes they do not happen when they should. Tracey said that they will agree how to keep services informed as they go along. It will depend on what the changes are. Les said that people with learning disabilities need to be told about the changes to welfare reform too. Dan said people get confused. 9

10 Amanda P - How would the housing options booklet be used with people before going to the panel? Tracey said that it is different for everyone. The housing options booklet would be used to get an idea about where someone would like to live. Using the housing options booklet means that some people might not need to go to the panel.
