Consumer Regulation and the Homes Standard – What does the current and the future regulatory regime mean for Local Authorities?

Consumer Regulation and the Homes Standard – What does the current and the future regulatory regime mean for Local Authorities?

With the upcoming changes to regulations in England and the growing power of the Regulator, Local Authorities should be prepared for increased scrutiny, as they continue compliance, and ultimately seek assurance that tenants are safe.

Altair and Devonshires will highlight the key considerations required for stock owning Local Authorities to ensure they are well prepared. Join us for a brief overview of the current standards and what possible changes there may be focusing on the questions below, followed by a panel discussion with expert speakers and questions from the audience:

  • What are your current responsibilities?
  • How does this fit into your governance framework?
  • How you can manage the risks to your organisation and;
  • Working effectively with the Regulator.

The webinar will be hosted by Andrew Cowan, Partner, Devonshires and Fiona Underwood, CEO Altair with guest speakers:

Kathryn Kligerman, Partner, Devonshires

Drawing upon her experience of supporting Housing Providers with Construction, Health & Safety and property compliance issues, Kathryn will provide insight into the key legal requirements Local Authorities need to consider to ensure they are compliant with the Regulations.
