On Wednesday 4th February 2026, Trinity Social Housing barrister, Holly Hickin, will take part in a round table discussion focussing on the progress made on Awaab’s Law and The Social Housing Act since their implementation in October 2025.
Hosted by netMAGmedia, the Housing Management & Maintenance round table, titled “Reviewing Progress on Awaab’s Law & The Social Housing Act”, will bring together a mix of social housing professionals, supply chain representatives, and industry bodies, to give insights into how regulated social landlords (RSLs) have risen to the challenges of Awaab’s Law and The Social Housing Act.
The event is split into two sessions, followed by recommendations for industry and government:
- Fast responses and Engaging residents
- Solutions and Suppliers’ Question Time
Discussions will centre around how much the sector has had to pivot to upgrade its reporting mechanisms, safety measures and staffing, new accountability, and other key issues revealed since October. Holly will join social housing professionals from across the industry, including:
- James Parker, Managing Editor, Housing Management & Maintenance (Chair)
