More than Training:
A Damp and Mould Competence Framework for Housing Providers
Damp & Mould Competence Framework
Our training is mapped to a clear, role-based competence framework covering frontline housing officers, repairs operatives, surveyors and managers. It sets out the knowledge and skills required to triage cases, investigate root causes, record findings, and agree proportionate remedies.
You can use the framework to plan CPD, evidence staff capability, and assure your Board and auditors that responsibilities are understood and met across your organisation.
Why training matters under Awaab’s Law
Awaab's Law creates clear expectations for timely, effective action on damp and mould. Providers must assess risks quickly, communicate clearly with residents, and keep accurate records that withstand scrutiny.
Our courses show staff how to respond correctly to complaints, take appropriate measurements, identify root causes, and document decisions so you can demonstrate compliance to the Regulator and Ombudsman.
Evidence compliance during audits
Use our templates, checklists and case-note examples to produce robust evidence of decision-making and case progression. Track competence against roles and keep an audit trail that demonstrates how you manage damp and mould effectively and lawfully.
Group training for teams
If you are a housing association or local authority looking to train a team, tell us about your requirements and we’ll prepare a tailored proposal. We can align content to your policies, workflows and audit needs.
