DCLG Building Safety Programme

The DCLG have established the Building Safety Programme to identify buildings which are of concern following the fire at Grenfell Tower.

There is a dedicated web page for local authorities, landlords and other interested parties responsible for building safety in England and it includes:

• Latest advice for landlords and building owners
• Further advice to landlords and building owners
• Financial information for local authorities and housing associations
• The Independent Expert Advisory Panel
• The screening, testing and wall cladding system testing programme
• The Industry Response Group

DCLG's most recent updates will always be posted on their web page first. For example:

Advice note 1 – explanatory note on safety checks and testing – 30 June 2017
Advice note 2 – advice on recladding - 13 July 2017
Advice note 3 – explanatory note on large scale testing – 20 July 2017

In particular, you are encouraged to read the explanatory note on the large scale testing.
