Call for evidence description

In the Social Housing White Paper, we committed to undertaking a consultation on keeping social housing residents safe from electrical harm. This consultation aims to improve safety for residents in social rented homes and bring greater parity between the rented sectors with regard to safety.

We are consulting on mandating electrical safety inspection and testing in social homes, and calling for evidence on requirements for owner-occupier leasehold properties in social housing blocks.
