About Tenancy Deposit Scheme

Tenancy Deposit Scheme are the longest established supplier of tenancy deposit protection and operate the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) in England and Wales, providing key services to SafeDeposits Scotland and operating TDS Northern Ireland.

TDS are an industry-owned and government-approved tenancy deposit protection scheme for the residential lettings market. They’re not for profit and don’t have any shareholders. This means that any surpluses can be put back into the business to improve the service for their members. They support their members to meet their legal obligations to protect tenancy deposits and allow them to retain control of the deposits so they can better manage the end of tenancy process.

To improve employee engagement, they ensure all colleagues are trained in their ‘Together Drives Success’ customer service training. They also host a variety of activities during team meetings that are designed to re-emphasise these skills.
