2024 was a transformative year for building safety in England. It marked the shift from groundwork to meaningful action.
We are committed to carrying the lessons of 2024 into the future. Together, we can turn this transformation into a lasting legacy of safety, trust, and accountability.

Our campaign website now includes information and useful resources for when Principal Accountable Persons (PAPs) are asked to apply for Building Assessment Certificates (BACs).
BACs are evidence to residents that their higher-risk building meets the highest safety standards.
Applications for certificates will be requested by BSR based on criteria listed on our site. Online resources include BSR’s Safety Case Toolkit as well as videos explaining what a BAC is and tips for submitting high-quality applications.

Our guidance preparing a building assessment certificate application has also been recently updated to include more information on the key areas for a BAC application.
The Industry Competence Steering Group (ICSG) has been restructured to become a formal working group of the Industry Competence Committee (ICC) under BSR.
The ICC is a statutory committee of the BSR that monitors industry competence and sets expectations of ‘what good looks like’.
The ICSG is where industry collaborates to meet those challenges. It also provides the ICC with a clear picture of what industry is doing, feeds back on what challenges industry is facing, and which levers can be pulled to improve competence.
Useful resources for residents of high-rise buildings in England are now available on our website.
The resources are for residents of HRBs managed by Resident Management Companies (RMCs) and those under the Right to Manage scheme or in commonhold properties.
