News: UK Government Issues Guidance on Damp & Mould
The guidance was developed following the tragic and avoidable death of two year-old Awaab Ishak.
The UK Government has recently published new guidance on the health risks of damp and mould in rented homes.
The guidance was developed in response to the Coroner’s Prevention of Future Deaths report following the tragic and avoidable death of two year-old Awaab Ishak.
The guidance is primarily aimed at social and private rented housing providers, but other professionals with an interest in understanding the health risks of damp and mould and how to address them may also find this guidance helpful. This may include: public health teams, primary and secondary healthcare professionals, environmental health practitioners, social care and voluntary sector professionals, contractors and other professionals going into tenants' homes who may have concerns for their wellbeing.
