New WHQS guidance was introduced in October 2023 and includes a number of new requirements for associations to comply with. This guidance changes the way in which associations approach asset management and deliver repairs and improvements to their stock to ensure compliance. The first milestone is to submit a Compliance Policy to the Welsh Government by March 2024. Such a policy requires clear, concise and robost statements in relation to 10 key areas of delivery.

Whether you have completed your Compliance Policy or are still working on it contact Adeni for quality, professional. independent advice on your Compliance Policy to ensure delivered outcomes are in line with your own values and those of the Welsh Government.
