Decant Policy

Page 1 of 4

Closes 13 Jun 2025

Consultation

1. Before reading this policy, I was aware of the services Sandwell Council provide in support of decants (temporarily moving tenants to alternative accommodation)
2. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the purpose of the Decant Policy?

The purpose of this Decant Policy is to set out the principles and procedures that Sandwell Council will follow when it becomes necessary to move tenants or groups of tenants from their permanent homes. This may occur either temporarily, to allow essential works to be carried out on their current home, or permanently, if their home is deemed unsafe for continued occupation.
