ARL at the heart of driving culture change around Building Safety

Last week saw the latest example of the Association for Rental Living’s activities to help influence cultural change around Building Safety and to gain recognition of the BTR sector with politicians, policy makers and regulators.

Already in regular contact with the Building Safety Regulator, advising on the impact of the Building Safety Act on the BTR sector, and a member of the Building Safety Alliance Ltd, Association for Rental Living CEO Brendan Geraghty attended an Industry Safety Steering Group (ISSG) Action Coalition event in London.

The invitation-only meeting brought together industry leaders including the Association for Rental Living, to collectively take action to change the industry’s culture and attitude to building safety. Following an introduction from ISSG Chair, Dame Judith Hackitt, an overview of Building Safety Regulator insight work on culture change and the work of Building a Safer Future was presented. Workshops followed along with commitments of action by those in attendance, in the presence of Minister for Building Safety, Alex Norris MP.
