Overview

In November 2023 the Building Safety Regulator (BSR) published its first three-year strategic plan, which establishes a vision to create a built environment where everyone is competent and takes responsibility to ensure buildings are of high quality and are safe. There are growing concerns for the state of public sector properties, with reports of weak buildings spanning the length and breadth of the public sector. It is imperative that positive change takes place, in order to keep public sector infrastructure in the best possible condition.

This Improving Building Safety event provides practical training and brings you up-to-date with the latest policy developments, regulations, and building safety requirements essential for compliance. Gain invaluable insights on fostering effective communication with stakeholders accountable for building safety.

By the end of this training, you'll be equipped with practical tools and strategies to seamlessly implement a more comprehensive building safety strategy within your organisation, ensuring the well-being of occupants and compliance with regulatory standards.

  • Learn how to effectively communicate with stakeholders and respond to building safety concerns
