Navigating Awaab’s Law: Compliance, clarity and the critical role of education

When it comes to Awaab’s Law, confidence across the sector doesn’t always match reality.

New research from Shelforce reveals that while many housing providers are taking steps toward compliance, a significant proportion remain underprepared and uncertain about what comes next.

Based on a comprehensive UK-wide survey of housing associations, local authorities and landlords, this report provides a clear, evidence-based picture of sector readiness and the actions needed to close the gap.

Key findings include:

  • Only 47% of respondents report full compliance
  • Just 40% feel fully confident in their ability to meet requirements
  • 33% have little to no confidence in their current approach

The message is clear: the sector is engaged – but not yet fully equipped.

Inside the white paper, you’ll discover:

  • Where organisations really stand on Awaab’s Law compliance
  • Why confidence gaps persist – and how to address them
  • The critical role of damp, mould and ventilation in tenant safety
  • How windows and doors influence thermal performance and condensation
  • Why understanding root causes is essential for long-term outcomes

With decades of experience supplying high-performance windows, doors and fire doors to local authorities and housing providers, Shelforce offers practical, real-world insight into one of the most significant regulatory changes in social housing in decades.

Compliance is only the beginning. Clarity and education are what drive lasting change.
