There’s never been a more important time for housing providers to develop their workforce and meet compliance standards.
Meeting the Competence and Conduct Standard

The amended Social Housing (Regulation) Act comes into force in October 2026, requiring housing professionals to meet new qualification requirements. Our Level 4 and 5 CIH programmes help organisations stay compliant and future-ready. If you need advice on what this means for your senior housing people, contact us today.
