Seven years after the tragic Grenfell fire the Inquiry report has outlined the systemic failures of a construction sector, driven by a race to the bottom, incompetence, very poor behaviour and inadequate regulation and control”.

As we reflect on the terrible loss life, we must fully embrace the new legislation and effect a major cultural change, putting life safety and quality first.

This is a must-attend conference for everyone who can influence the design, construction, and operation of buildings.

The event is aimed at all stakeholders who are looking to develop their knowledge of the management, regulation, standards, and the overall safety of buildings. It will explore how the world of building safety is changing and the route to compliance as well as the key findings of the public inquiry.

The use of non-combustible systems has now been extended to cover buildings above 11 metres and the responsibility for Building Regulations and enforcement has now been passed to the HSE. The Fire Safety Act and the Building Safety Act are now in force and we have a new regulator for Building Products.

Climate Change and Building Safety has led to an unprecedented wave of change, and we must be mindful to avoid unintended consequences. Against this backdrop it is vital that all those who influence fire safety, are better informed and are competent and have the integrity to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

The event has been kindly sponsored by Birmingham City University and West Midlands Social Housing Group.
