The board receives regular assurance that all of the stock meets the organisation’s safety standards.  It is informed about the nature of any failure, the plans for remediation and their costs and timescales, as well as progress with implementing these plans.  This includes any temporary additional mitigations, such as instigating a waking watch.  The board also considers whether a legal claim should be made against the contractors and / or designers involved in the construction of buildings that do not meet their standards.  This is based on an independent assessment of the probability of success, with legal fees at risk subject to specific board approval.

The safety standards themselves are regularly reviewed to ensure that they comply with all relevant laws, regulations and guidance, including British Standard 9991 (Fire safety in the design, management and use of residential buildings), which was updated in November 2024.
