HHSRS Core Competency Practitioners Course
HHSRS was developed as a component of the Housing Act 2004 to replace the Fitness Standard. If you are a private sector housing practitioner it is likely that you will be required to apply HHSRS in your everyday role.
An online version of this course is now available via the Zoom Platform.
Who Should attend?
People who need to assess properties according to the HHSRS, housing managers who need to learn how the HHSRS may change their property ratings and how to prioritise failings, managers who need to supervise staff who are assessing properties.
The course will help organisations come to terms with the practical application and implications of the Housing Health and Safety Rating System (HHSRS). By the end of this course, participants will understand the principles behind the Housing Health and Safety Rating System and will understand how to link deficiencies, hazards and the likelihood of harms.
Certification
Delegates will receive a certificate of Competence in applying the HHSRS from DASH Services. This course provides evidence that a delegate has attended training and has demonstrated an acceptable understanding of HHSRS through their submitted assignment and their participation in course discussions. DASH is widely regarded as a leading specialist in HHSRS training in the UK

Session 3: 9.30am - 1.00pm
The second day of the training concentrates mainly on reports given by delegates on their assessments and provides the opportunity for feedback and discussion.
