Network Activity
LACORS launched the National Guidance on Fire Safety Standards in Existing Residential Accommodation on Wednesday 23rd July 2008. Over 40 representatives from councils, fire and rescue authorities and landlord and tenant organisations attended the launch event at Local Government House.
The guidance has been produced by LACORS in conjunction with the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) and the Chief Fire Officers Association (CFOA). The guidance will contain a forward from the Fire and Housing Ministers in Communities and Local Government.
The guidance, which only applies in England, follows on from the National Fire Safety Protocol. This protocol, drawn up by the CIEH with the National HMO Network, LACORS and the National Landlords Association (NLA), relates to joint working between local housing authorities and fire and rescue authorities.
