HAPPI Hour webinar - Safe by design: Fire safety in housing architecture and policy
This Housing LIN HAPPI Hour explores the latest research, policy, and practice on fire safety in care homes and specialised housing.
Overview
We are pleased to welcome PRP, who will share insights from their work with MHCLG on reviewing fire safety regulations and exploring alternative design approaches. The University of Stirling will also join us to mark two years of the ISPA project, with a focus on fire doors and resident safety. In addition, the session will feature a legal perspective on the communication of fire safety information to residents.
Essential for anyone involved in designing, managing, or regulating specialist housing.
