This practical session will look at:

• The requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and what they mean in practice.
• The post Grenfell situation including the government guidance and requirements to inspect EWS.
• The Fire Safety Act and its secondary legislation and the Building Safety Act and its secondary legislation.
• How to gain assurance – what to measure, monitor, track and report. We’ll cover the full range of recommended KPIs that providers could and should have in place with practical examples:
  • The range of reports at L&Q to Executive and Board
  • HQN template.

There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.

Delegates will go away with a clear understanding of requirements and best practice around fire safety.
