About the course
Board member training is a common feature at most registered providers and covers a range of functions, but historically, Property Compliance and Customer and Building Safety hasn’t always had the same profile, despite it being a crucial area in which the Board needs to ensure the business is performing well.
The consequences of failure can include regulatory downgrades and a failure to meet members fiduciary duty.
“…we regard board members and councillors as responsible for ensuring that providers’ businesses are managed effectively and that providers comply with all regulatory requirements”
