Arrangements are in place to detect plans and proposals to make alterations to relevant standards, including the Decent Homes Standard / Future Homes Standard, and standards relating to specific types of accommodation, including Registered Care Homes.  Prudent assumptions on the costs of achieving and maintaining compliance with these standards are fully incorporated into financial plans.  The proposed requirements of the new or changed standards are also factored into planned works programmes.  

The organisation has engaged with its suppliers to identify what new supply chains need to be established to comply with the new requirements and to assess how robust these will be.  It has also engaged with residents regarding the changes to ensure that work undertaken to comply with the new Standard meets their needs.
