About this event

Please note: this event is for over 18’s only.

As our industry faces increasing scrutiny from regulators and the public, the pressure to deliver safe, decent, and sustainable homes has never been greater. Yet, the gap between expectations and delivery - driven by funding constraints and a shortage of skilled professionals - poses real risks. When competency is lacking, the consequences can be severe: injuries, fatalities, and long-term reputational damage.

This CPD event offers a unique opportunity to:

Gain insights from leading University of Portsmouth academics on risk perception and organisational resilience
Learn from Rockwool’s fire-safety innovations and their new global centre of excellence
Explore mentoring and CIOB membership pathways
Network with peers and industry leaders
Meet your CIOB Hub Committee
