TAPPI Cast - Welcome to 2023!

Happy New Year from all TAPPI partners! One of our wishes for 2023 (opens new window) is to see the TAPPI principles co-designed in housing, health and social care policy.

Co-production is central to the TAPPI project, and our partner Co-Production Works have been busy helping put together co-production Champions groups (opens new window) made of one tenant and member of staff from each of the TAPPI testbeds.

We look forward to reporting on the Champions involvement throughout the programme. For example, see our Scottish testbed, Bield’s post about their TAPPI champions (opens new window), Peter and Alice who are helping to review some TEC vendors and learned to use an online graphic design platform to create a poster promoting their next TAPPI coffee morning!

Bield and their TAPPI programme board also held a workshop in December (opens new window) to establish the actions required for each of the project challenges and the timeframes for completion.

This week we added a new report to the ‘Useful Resources’ listing of the TAPPI microsite: Everon’s new Digital Switchover White Paper - “The Digital Reality”
