As set out above, we intend to retain our outcome-focussed approach to the standards as set out in the social housing white paper, which providers’ boards and governing bodies will continue to be responsible for meeting. Our experience of economic regulation is that our co-regulatory approach of seeking assurance from providers that they are meeting our standards ensures that the boards of providers focus on delivering the best outcomes rather than just doing the minimum to ensure compliance with specific requirements. Our approach is consistent with regulatory best practice and with the Regulator’s Code, and we strongly believe that it is more likely to successfully deliver the shift in culture within landlords that we are seeking to achieve through proactive consumer regulation.
