The Housing Hive

Next session: Thursday 26^th June 11am
Panellists: TBC

Topic: Countdown to Awaab’s Law – Compliance Readiness

Where? Teams

From October 2025, every social landlord in England must investigate a damp or mould report within 14 days, start works within 7 days, and resolve emergencies inside 24 hours – the backbone of Awaab’s Law, named in memory of two‑year‑old Awaab Ishak.

June’s Housing Hive will unpack what these statutory timescales mean for service design, budgets and governance. A panel of housing professionals will share the practical steps they’re taking to get ready. Final panellists will be announced shortly.

Why attend?

Understand the 14‑7‑24 rule and its legal status as an implied tenancy term

Benchmark your current response times against peers
Put your questions directly to a cross‑sector panel

What we'll cover:

Countdown & key dates – where we must be by 1 October 2025 and the cost of missing the mark
Workflow mapping – translating the 14‑7‑24 rule into clear, trackable repair stages
Proof & governance – building an audit trail that satisfies boards, tenants and the regulator
Resources & readiness – lining up people, budgets and contractor capacity for seven‑day cover
Lessons from the field – real‑life wins, stumbles and time‑savers shared by the panel

Who should attend?

“I love that the Housing Hive gives me a chance to engage with other housing professionals, who I wouldn’t usually get to speak with. The success stories have been great, as have the ideas from across the sector!”

What is The Housing Hive?

Prodo has been working in the housing sector as a leading digital partner for over 16 of our 21 years and one of the main reasons we love the sector, is different association’s capacity to share best practice with each other.

Now more than ever, we’re seeing the community collaborate and rapidly evolve its response to the COVID-19 outbreak, breaking new boundaries across digital transformation and communication.

We wanted to play our part in this collaboration, so decided to bring together as many social housing professionals from across the country together in this very unusual time of change to support each other, share ideas of what’s worked and discuss what the new future may look like. And from that, The Housing Hive was born!
