Upcoming webinar on Awaab’s Law: making homes safer, faster | News

Webinar details

• Date: Thursday 18 September 2025
• Time: two sessions available:
  • 2:30pm to 4:00pm
  • 7:30pm to 9:00pm
• Location: online – open to all social housing residents

This session will explain what Awaab’s Law means for tenants and how it strengthens your rights to a safe, healthy home.

From 27 October 2025, housing providers will be legally required to act quickly on health hazards like damp and mould, with strict timeframes for repairs. The law will also expand to cover other serious risks - including electrical safety, fire hazards, and extreme temperatures.

What the session will cover

• What Awaab’s Law is and why it matters.
• The new rules landlords must follow.
• What to expect as the law expands.
• Where to go for support if repairs aren’t carried out on time.
• Examples of best practice from landlords preparing for the changes.

There’ll be time for questions and discussion. Closed captions will be available for accessibility.
