I released a post highlighting the concern that many social housing executives have about the accuracy of management information given to their Boards. What I hadn’t realised was that the day before, Bernadette Conroy, the Chair of the Social Housing Regulator, had announced at the Social Housing Annual Conference that the Regulator would be: **“Moving from a reactive regulatory regime to a proactive one.”** Her speech, [details of which can be found here](https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/bernadette-conroys-speech-social-housing-annual-conference-1-december-2022), reinforced how accurate data is the foundation stone on which all forms of compliance is based and that the Regulator was therefore taking a proactive approach to ensuring both awareness and accuracy. Her comments were partially in reaction to recent headlines, particularly around disrepair. **“Your boards need to have accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date stock condition data to make informed decisions about investment programmes.”** Bernadette’s conclusions were that although she was confident that landlords will be able to meet the current challenges, the Regulator would be looking to confirm this in order to ensure social housing providers were ‘viable’. This would be evidencing through three fundamentals: ### 1. That their risk management frameworks are robust and are supported by good data ### 2. That their boards have the expertise to take well informed decisions focused on delivery of strategic priorities, and ### 3. That they can respond and adapt to new requirements To demonstrate conformance, I would suggest a landlord needs two things: 1. **A data quality and management assurance tool/software** 2. **Access to a CIO (Chief Intelligence Officer) or someone with that type of expertise, even if it is on a part-time basis as and when needed** If your organisation has any doubt as to if it can demonstrate this, don’t panic as there are relatively simple solutions to both of these requirements that can be swiftly implemented and that will achieve an almost immediate return and impact. Sorry if I am repeating myself, but… **“The question is not if this is done by your organisation, it is simply how quickly it will be done?”** **For further information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch or read some of my other recent posts:** [Do I know if the information I give to my Board or Exec is correct?](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/colin-sales-7a48714_dataintegrity-datainsights-compliance-activity-7004137297935753216-AMec?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) [An easier way to Regulatory Assurance](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/colin-sales-7a48714_smarttech-regulatorycompliance-socialhousing-activity-7003417776564391938-MTiz?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) [Disrepair Claims – Minimising the risk](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/colin-sales-7a48714_assetmanagement-socialhousing-assetmanagement-activity-7001240980368568321-Y4SH?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) [Feedback on the Government’s ‘Transforming for a Digital Future’ Strategy](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/colin-sales-7a48714_digitalbusinesstransformation-transformation-activity-7003775423650136064-Ap4e?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop) [linkedin-in icon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/3c-consultants/) [youtube icon](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClS0lLZ8C5C2tDffMl4L6GA) ### Posts By Topics - [News (54)](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/tag/news) - [Insights (46)](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/tag/insights) - [Case Studies (23)](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) - [DSAR (2)](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/tag/dsar) ### Latest Articles [Awaab's Law Phase 2: Are you confident you're ready for the 30 November deadline?](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/awaabs-law-phase-2-deadline-2026) [3C Consultants is now part of Infoshare+](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/3c-consultants-is-now-part-of-infoshare) [Turning data into assurance with 3C Data Logic](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/turning-data-into-assurance-with-3c-data-logic) [Case Study: Confidence In The Numbers At Trident Housing](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/case-study-confidence-in-the-numbers-at-trident-housing) [3C Data Logic Feature Launch - Our new AI Module Extension](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/3c-data-logic-feature-launch-our-new-ai-module-extension) [Case Study: From Weeks To One Day - How Trident Housing is Transforming SAR Handling](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/case-study-from-weeks-to-one-day-how-trident-housing-is-transforming-sar-handling) ### Subscribe to our news This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. #### How we help - [Data management software for social housing](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/data-management-software-for-social-housing) - [IT consultancy](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/it-consultancy-for-social-housing) - [Data consultancy](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/data-consultancy-for-social-housing) - [About us](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/our-mission-values-and-team) #### Resources - [Case studies](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog/tag/case-studies) - [News & insights](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/blog) - [Free information guides](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/free-brochures) #### Useful links - [Privacy policy](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/privacy-policy) - [Terms & conditions](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/terms-and-conditions) - [Cookie policy](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/cookie-policy) #### Contact us - Phone: [0333 900 3003](tel:0333%20900%203003) - Email: [info@3cconsultants.co.uk](mailto:info@3cconsultants.co.uk) - Address: Minerva Mill Innovation Centre Station Road, Alcester, Warwickshire, B49 5ET, UK [![footer-logo](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/3C_Consultants_Theme_Aug2023/Images/footer-logo.webp?width=328&height=72&name=footer-logo.webp "footer-logo")](https://www.3cconsultants.co.uk/) [linkedin-in icon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/3c-consultants/) [youtube icon](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClS0lLZ8C5C2tDffMl4L6GA) Copyright 2026 3C Consultants Ltd.
