On 6 February, the government opened a consultation on its proposals to introduce a new, regulatory standard relating to the competence and conduct of social housing staff. This standard will require senior managers and executives to have, or be working towards, a relevant qualification. It will ensure that staff have up-to-date skills, knowledge and experience, and that they exhibit the right behaviours to deliver a high quality, professional service and treat residents with respect.

During this lunch and learn, discover more about the government’s proposals for the Competence and Conduct Standard for social housing. We were joined by representatives from the Department of Levelling-Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) to talk through the proposals and what they mean for the sector.
