    The Safety and Quality Standard (part two)

    Due to its complexity, we are running two sessions on the Safety and Quality Standard.

    Session one will cover building safety and compliance, including the latest on Awaab’s Law and electrical safety.

    Session two will look at the quality of your homes, including decency, repairs and maintenance service and aids and adaptations.

    What will be covered in part two:

    • Updates on regulation and inspection – what the Regulator has said so far
    • The assurances and governance you need to have in place
    • The evidence you need to have ready to show to the Regulator
    • Asset management strategy
    • Stock quality
    • Decency
    • Repairs, maintenance and planned improvements
    • Aids and adaptations
    • What your customers think and say – TSMs, transactional surveys, focus groups.

    After a full year of regulatory inspections, we now know what the inspectors are looking for – hard evidence of:

    • An up-to-date stock condition survey
    • A business plan that shows when the works from the survey will be done
    • Accurate data on Decent Homes and safety compliance
    • Listening to and acting on the views of tenants
    • Outcomes being delivered for tenants
    • And – most importantly – robust governance and oversight.

    The Consumer Standards cover all your dealings with tenants across all of your homes. You will want to get the best rating you can – HQN’s expert team can help.

    Essential for:

    • Asset management directors and teams
    • Repairs directors and teams
    • Health and safety leads and teams and compliance specialists
    • Performance and data managers and teams
    • Policy and strategy teams
    • Governance managers and teams
    • Corporate support teams
    • CEOs and senior executives.
  • Professional development

    • Great webinar providing clear guidance, advice and direction on how to ensure both LA’s and RSL’s are fully prepared for inspection by the Housing regulator.

      Hull City Council

    • Great delivery – whilst covering the basics to lay a foundation presenters constantly referred to specific details and knowledge in H&S, which has a practical usefulness including latest insights in regulator’s approach.
