Scotland has its own agenda at ASCP Live! , because Scotland has its own rules. Awaab's Law Scotland: time to deliver. Asbestos in social housing.

The aftermath of disasters like Grenfell has ignited a call for heightened competency standards in the social housing sector. With new regulations coming in the next few years, businesses will be required to demonstrate what competency looks like. Bitesize Learning helps you stay ahead of these regulatory shifts by providing accessible, high-quality training that meets emerging standards. Prepare your team for the future of housing safety and compliance. Start your learning journey today: zurl.co/cUxLZ #competency #regulations #socialhousing #housingsafety #trainingforthefuture

Buildings have become more complex. Has the competence to manage them kept pace? Andrea White (A W Fire Ltd) drew on the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase 2 report, which identified inadequate competence, weak oversight and organisations assuming someone else held responsibility. Experience alone, she stressed, doesn't prove work has been carried out correctly. Her closing message was direct: undertake proper due diligence when bringing in expertise, and mind the gap between what today's buildings demand and what the industry actually knows. Don't let this feeling wear off. ASCP27 is the place to keep closing that gap, 100 tickets left at 2026 pricing: zurl.co/qmAyb #FireSafety #Competence #ASCP26

IGEM/UP/1B has moved to Edition 4, changing the domestic tightness testing and purging procedure that gas engineers rely on every day. Installation volume, permissible pressure drops and purge volumes are all calculated differently under the new standard. If your engineers, supervisors and technical managers are still working to Edition 3 without realising what's moved, that's a competence gap worth closing before it shows up on site. Our IGEM/UP/1B Edition 4 Update is a focused 2 to 3 hour technical session, tutor-led with worked examples and a multiple-choice assessment.

Twenty-seven years of records. Three different stairlift lists. None of them matched what residents actually had installed. Shawn Greenfield (Worthing Homes) gave one of ASCP26's most candid sessions, walking through how data inherited across five asset management systems contributed to a regulatory downgrade from G1 to G2, and what it took to rebuild trust in the numbers. His conclusion: confidence doesn't come from having more data. It comes from questioning it, verifying it, and being willing to say when something's wrong. If this got you thinking about your own data, don't let that feeling wear off. 100 tickets are still available for ASCP27 at 2026 pricing: zurl.co/PFpdg #DataQuality #Compliance #ASCP26

Gas safety is increasingly being talked about as an asset decision, not just a routine service tick. Where it sits in your wider asset management and dilapidations planning matters as much as the servicing itself. One area that often gets missed in that planning is existing gas pipework, particularly in multi-occupancy buildings. Our Gas Pipework Risk Assessments course (incl. DSEAR) covers the risks, the regulations and the duties, with real case studies rather than just theory. Building competence more widely across your team? It sits alongside our Level 2 Award in Gas Safety Awareness and Level 4 Certificate in Gas Safety Management. Course: zurl.co/GyYk0 #GasSafety #SocialHousing #HousingCompliance #AssetManagement

Most decisions made at emergency incidents are intuitive, not analytical. That single insight, drawn from Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton's own research, went on to transform firefighter training. Her ASCP26 session traced an extraordinary path: homeless at 15 in Newport, night school to a PhD in psychology, now Chief Fire Officer of West Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. Her message on psychological safety: it isn't about making work comfortable. It's about creating an environment where people can speak honestly, hear difficult messages, and take the reasonable risks that make learning possible. #Leadership #Resilience #ASCP26

There are two doors between a safety risk and the action needed to resolve it: the front door of a home, and the door to organisational authority. Opening ASCP26, our CEO Matt Sharp set out why an unanswered knock leaves the truth unknown, and why unresolved cases can hide behind strong headline compliance figures. Failed access alone could cost the sector around £1 billion over four years. Inspections suggest over 200,000 social homes may contain gas installations classified as At Risk or Immediately Dangerous, and more than 90,000 a C1 electrical danger. Those are the ones inspectors could reach. "Open the front door. Open the boardroom door. Let safety through." This is exactly what our Access for Safety campaign exists to fix.

Can the most junior member of staff stop work on safety grounds, confident the organisation will back them? Lord Victor Adebowale's question cuts straight to culture. Drawing on his own childhood in social housing and a career spanning housing, health, social care and the House of Lords, Victor challenged delegates to see the leadership role they already play, and to make sure frontline knowledge reaches the people with the power to act. His advice when concerns go unheard: keep going, find allies, and tell the truth upwards, early and in writing. #Leadership #ASCP26
