Rebuilding housing’s professional identity

Description

The Competence and Conduct Standard for social housing will go live in October 2026, requiring senior managers to hold, or be working towards, approved qualifications.

Inside Housing talks to Professor Philip Brown from the University of Huddersfield – who teaches the university’s new MSc in housing leadership and is academic lead for the Healthy Housing Initiative – about professional identity in the sector, the practical realities of meeting the new standard and what its impact might be on learning, recruitment and retention.
