Housing associations offered a helping hand from Cardinus Risk Management

LONDON - Sept. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- CARDINUS Risk Management is to host a one-day forum in London looking at the risks faced by housing associations. This free-to-attend event will feature informative presentations from expert speakers on all areas of housing association operation.

The challenges faced by housing associations have never been more intense. Changes in the sector driven by legislation and economic factors mean that it is essential that efficiencies are made in all areas without affecting quality of service, employee safety or the residents’ experience.

Managing Housing Association Risk is for housing associations and property professionals with responsibility for protecting valuable assets or the health and safety needs of housing staff and residents. It takes place in London on Thursday, November 20, 2014, starting at 9.30am and finishing at 4pm with lunch included and refreshments served throughout the day.

Hosted by Cardinus Risk Management at its offices at 107 Leadenhall Street in the heart of the city, this exciting event brings together a number of industry experts to reveal best practices and help housing associations to improve productivity and the safety of their staff. Delegates will also receive advice to help ensure they don’t incur unnecessary costs in the management of their property portfolios.

Speakers will run workshop-style sessions to provide housing associations with a set of new ideas and skills that they will be able to implement immediately. Sessions will consider the challenges of occupational road risk, building valuation, lone working, display screen equipment and fire risk.

A housing provider’s people and properties are its most important assets. Managing Housing Association Risk will reveal new and innovative ways of protecting them. There will be plenty of opportunities to network with colleagues and peers and to challenge the status quo with the aim of improving industry standards. This Cardinus forum is supported by the International Institute of Risk and Safety Management (IIRSM).

Cardinus believes this information-packed day guarantees great value-for-time in London and expects high demand for the limited number of places at the event. For more information please contact Cardinus Risk management on 020 7469 0200.
