The CCH in the UK have revised the joint CCH and National Housing Federation code of governance for co-operative and mutual housing organisations. It is intended to be a generic code that could apply to a range of co-operative and mutual housing organisations. The aim of the code is to be a useful guide to help co-ops review and improve their governance.
