Course Summary

The “golden thread” involves keeping a clear and accessible digital record of crucial building information – starting from the design phase and continuing throughout the building’s lifecycle.

This includes:

  • Design Information: Detailed documentation of the building’s design and construction, ensuring that all stakeholders understand the safety measures in place
  • Safety Management Plans: Continuous updates on how safety is managed throughout the building’s lifecycle, including maintenance records and alterations made to the building
  • Documentation: All relevant safety documentation, including risk assessments, safety case reports, and compliance checks, must be systematically organised and readily available for inspection

Failing to uphold this golden thread poses significant risks, as critical information may become lost or inaccessible, increasing the likelihood of safety incidents.

This online course will be led by Neil Yeomans, Chair of the National Housing Federation Building Safety Group, who will provide a deep dive into the requirements of the Building Safety Act.

This CPD certified Golden Thread training course is for professionals from social housing, local authorities, and the construction industry, responsible for designing, constructing, and managing buildings. You will gain an understanding of how this area will develop over the coming months and take away practical advice for creating and maintaining a golden thread of information for your property.

The principles covered in this training will address the wider data management challenges currently being faced by landlords in this increasingly digital age.

Don’t miss this opportunity to get a head start in developing your golden thread of information, comply with your legal duties, and contribute towards promoting a culture of building safety.
