Why your views matter
The Grenfell Tower Inquiry final report published on 4 September 2024 recommended an independent panel was set up to consider two questions relating to the operation of the building contol system in England - whether to remove commercial interest from the system and whether certain functions should be moved to a 'national authority' model. This call for evidence is being issued to assist the panel in determining their answers to those questions and their recommendations to Government. The panel want to hear from building control bodies and those who engage with the system - for example developers, architects, the fire and rescue services and clients/dutyholders. The panel will also want to ensure responses from groups representing Grenfell survivors and bereaved, wider resident safety groups, and home buyers, to understand their perceptions and experiences of the role of the building control system in England.
