Let's build an understanding of the requirements together.

How are organisations really getting to grips with the competence and conduct regulatory requirements? Join us for an open, practical session sharing what’s working, what’s not, and what good looks like in practice.

The competence and conduct regulatory requirements are landing across the sector, but there’s no single blueprint for how to do it well. This session is about cutting through the theory and getting into the reality of what organisations are doing, learning and adapting as they go.

If you’re shaping your approach or sense-checking your plans, this is a chance to hear openly from others, share your own thinking and leave with practical ideas you can take forward.

Join us to:

  • Hear honest reflections on how organisations are approaching the requirements
  • Share experiences and learn from others across the sector
  • Explore what good looks like beyond simply meeting requirements
  • Understand the common challenges and how people are navigating them
  • Take away practical ideas to shape your own approach.

Your speakers:

  • Linsay Baverstock, head of people experience, Settle, Paraigm
  • Lindsay Driscoll, freelance housing consultant and trainer, vice chair of the Professional Standards Committee
  • Chair: Sarah Dunkerley, director of membership and professional development, Chartered Institute of Housing 
Professional Standards Committee

Both speakers are valuable members of the Professional Standards Committee (PSC), a delegated board within CIH’s governance structure. This group has been meeting since 2016 and is made up of up to ten members from across the four nations of the UK. The PSC has a number of functions, including:

  • Oversee the CIH code of conduct and CIH code of ethics
  • Oversee, review and decide upon actions around complaints raised against CIH members for breaches of the CIH code of conduct
  • Oversee continuing professional development (CPD) on behalf of CIH
  • Support the ongoing development of the work CIH is doing on professionalism including the professional standards framework and the journey towards professional recognition.

The speakers have fully developed this webinar content as part of their role and continuous commitment to support professionalism and professional standards.
