Our health and safety responsibilities to our tenants

All social housing landlords are required to appoint a designated Health and Safety Lead. We have assigned this to Peter Francis, Head of HR, Health & Safety, Corporate PR and Communications.

The Lead’s function is to:

• Monitor our compliance with housing health and safety requirements
• Assess our risk of failing to comply with the requirements
• Notify the Regulator of Social Housing of any risks or failures to comply
• Advise us how to address risk and failures to comply

The Health and Safety Lead is not:

• Responsible for our compliance with housing health and safety requirements
• Liable for a failure by us to comply with the requirements.

You can contact us if you have a concern about health and safety in your council home by emailing us on corporatesafety@dover.gov.uk.
