Closing address & panel session
Beyond Compliance: Building Safety's Next Chapter
The era of legislation has given way to the era of implementation. As new duties become embedded, enforcement activity increases and case law continues to shape the regulatory landscape, housing providers are grappling with the practical realities of delivering safer buildings and managing risk.
Have the reforms delivered the change the sector needed? Are organisations clear on where responsibility sits? What are regulators focusing on now? And what challenges lie ahead?
Join our panel of sector leaders, regulators and building safety experts for a candid discussion on the most significant issues facing the industry today. From accountability, resident safety and remediation to compliance, culture and governance, we will explore the lessons learned so far and the priorities that will define the next chapter of building safety.
