Details

The Regulator of Social Housing has written to all registered providers in England with a new data request to complete from week commencing 21 August 2023.

Working with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, RSH is seeking assurance from all registered providers that for all buildings 11 metres plus (including those over 18 metres) for which they are responsible, they have:

  • Met their obligations under the Fire Safety (Regulatory) Order 2005 for assessing fire safety risks associated with the relevant parts of those buildings;
  • That where there are risks, they understand what they are and how they should be addressed, particularly in relation to cladding and;
  • Where they have identified life safety fire risks, they have a plan in place to remediate those buildings in a timely manner.

The letter and additional guidance document are included on this page. The survey template ‘FRS Guidance 2023 V01’ can be found in the Documents section of the NROSH+ website.
