Use this simple checklist to assess your organisation’s current readiness — and identify any areas that need attention.

Tick off the actions your organisation is already taking:

‍

We have a documented process for identifying and responding to damp and mould hazards, with clear timescales — including a 24-hour response for emergency repairs.

We actively monitor and record outcomes of damp and mould-related repairs, including tenant satisfaction and repeat issues.

We collect tenant feedback after repairs or interventions, especially for health-related hazards such as damp, mould, or excess cold.

We provide tenants with clear information about their rights and the repair process, including how to report issues and escalate concerns.

We train frontline teams and contractors to identify, report, and deal appropriately with signs of damp and mould during home visits.

We are reviewing and updating internal policies and procedures in preparation for the 2026 and 2027 expansion of Awaab’s Law.

We analyse data and feedback to spot patterns across our housing stock and take preventative action before issues escalate.
