Further information for residents

How you can get more information on a variety of subjects

Building safety complaints

A Building Safety Complaints Procedure has been specifically developed to help us meet new obligations under the Building Safety Act 2022 (Section 93) which requires the Principle Accountable Person (PAP) to establish and publish a complaints system.

A relevant Building Safety complaint is defined in the Building Safety Act as a complaint relating to: A ‘building safety risk’ - a risk to the safety of people in or about the building arising from either the spread of fire of structural failure; and/or the performance by an accountable person with regard to their duties.

Where a complaint regarding building safety does not meet the above definition, it may still be able to be reviewed under the wider housing complaints policy. We will advise if this will be used instead.

Resident Engagement Strategy 

So that you can be informed about Building Safety decisions and can feel safe in your home under our new duties we now have a new dedicated Building Safety Resident Engagement Strategy.
