What evidence do I need?
For m5-4.4 SDA conflict of interest: housing rights and tenure kept whatever, the evidence to bring is: Records of tenants who changed SIL or other support provider and kept their tenancy. It sits under Module 5: Specialist disability accommodation and our reference for it is m5-4.4. Keep every record dated, signed and current, and name who owns it.
Answer the reviewer first
Show me records of tenants who changed SIL or other support provider and kept their tenancy, and tell me who owns it and when it was last reviewed.
That is the question a quality assessor opens with for this requirement. Have the record on the desk and the date it was last reviewed to hand.
