The final module of the PgDip Housing studies sees students undertake a 10 week work placement within a Local Authority or Housing Association. The module is designed to marry acquired academic study with real world practical experience. Successful completion of the internship would mean the student has met CIH criteria for professional working, and in turn would be granted corporate membership of the organisation. I was awarded CIHCM in December 2017.During the 10 weeks, experience was gained across a variety of Housing Services. This included: Arrears and rent management, allocations, anti-social behavior,Estate Management, housing inpections and repairs, A piece of original written work was also submitted to the host organistion. In this case, research was undertaken to identify tenant vulnerability in the wake of Universal Credit rollout . The report drew on existing data and research, as well as primary data gathered during the placement. The final draft was submitted and presented to the management commitee at the start of August 2017. The information and subsequent recommendations was referenced when Bridgewater updated the Welfare Reform Mitigation Policy for 2017/2018.
