Social Housing Fire Risk Governance: Managing Portfolio Compliance

### Compliance Across Dispersed Housing Portfolios Social housing providers manage complex multi-occupied estates, general needs housing, supported living, and high-rise residential buildings. Maintaining consistent fire safety governance requires standardized auditing protocols and central action tracking. ### Key Governance Requirements for Housing Directors 1. **Flat Entrance Fire Doors**: Mandatory routine checking of flat entrance doors and communal fire doors under the Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022. 2. **External Wall & Structure Assessments**: Inclusion of external wall systems and spandrel panels within the scope of Fire Risk Assessments under the Fire Safety Act 2021. 3. **Resident Engagement & Information**: Providing clear instructions to residents regarding evacuation strategies and fire door maintenance. 4. **Central Action Tracking**: Establishing clear risk owners, priority ratings, and target closure dates across all significant findings. ### How LRMS Delivers Housing Governance LRMS designs portfolio-wide FRA programmes for social housing providers across Bolton, Greater Manchester, and the North West.
