The Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) has reiterated the importance of strong governance for delivering more and better social homes. Landlords must prioritize tenant safety by ensuring effective systems to track and resolve issues, embed risk management cultures, and use data to drive improvements. They are also required to demonstrate value for money, manage financial risks through stress testing, and engage with tenants to shape services. RSH’s regulatory casework review highlights these priorities, urging all social landlords—regardless of current governance grades—to adopt the findings. Deputy Chief Executive Kate Dodsworth noted that good governance enables landlords to leverage funding opportunities and address problems proactively. RSH holds landlords accountable for failing to meet standards, with a focus on improving outcomes through inspections and interventions. The regulator’s efforts have led to several landlords achieving higher consumer and governance grades in 2026.
