The Homes and Communities Agency (HCA),
regulating body of social housing, has released its 2017 Sector Risk Profile.
This publication aims to help boards have a better understanding of potential risks
in the increasingly diverse and complex sector, while outlining the actions
providers should be taking to manage those risks.
The
Sector Risk Profile 2017, published on 28th July by the HCA, highlights the
importance of registered providers' compliance to all health and safety
requirements, together with the need to stress-test a wide range of scenarios
that their organisation could potentially face in this fast-changing economic
and policy environment.
The
publication emphasises the responsibility for boards and councillors to
"ensure that they have effective systems in place to comply with all
health and safety obligations" (HCA, 2017), including the ‘big five’ areas
(gas safety, fire safety, electrical safety, asbestos and water hygiene).
The
regulator further states that if any failings in relation to health and safety
compliance are identified, providers must “notify the regulator and take action
to resolve the issues immediately” (HCA, 2017).
The
regulator’s full Sector Risk Profile 2017 is available on the on the HCA
website.
