Summary of the article
Elmhurst argues that preparation for Phase 2 requires attention to who investigates hazards, not only how quickly an appointment is arranged. Its article distinguishes the government’s main landlord guidance from the accompanying material on recognising and assessing hazards.
It discusses appropriate skills, the situations where specialist assessment may be needed and the importance of recording the reasoning behind decisions. Staff training, escalation arrangements and communication with residents feature alongside the technical inspection.
