All social landlords are required to appoint a designated Health and Safety Lead. We have assigned this role to the Executive Councillor for Finance and Resources.
The lead’s function is to:
- monitor our compliance with housing health and safety requirements
- assess our risk of failing to comply with the requirements
- notify the Regulator of Social Housing of any risks or failures to comply
- advise us how to address risks and failures to comply
The Health and Safety Lead is not:
- responsible for our compliance with housing health and safety requirements
- liable for a failure by us to comply with the requirements
Contact us if you have a concern about health and safety in your council home.
You can ask us when health and safety checks have been carried out at your property or are due to take place.
