Details

Following the coroner’s November 2022 report into the death of Awaab Ishak in Rochdale, RSH asked all larger registered providers of social housing to submit evidence to us about the extent of damp and mould in tenants’ homes and their approach to tackling it. This covered local authorities and private providers such as housing associations who together own and manage over four million homes in England.

In February 2023, we published an initial findings report from the high level analysis of the information that was submitted.

This report is the final analysis and conclusions from the information provided and lessons learned.
