Social housing regulator halts in-depth assessments due to coronavirus

The regulator added that it continues to expect housing providers to keep it informed of anything that may relate to non-compliance with its standards.

“As ever, our regulatory approach remains proportionate and we will take account of the circumstances, including those arising from the impact of coronavirus,” it said.

The coronavirus outbreak has put the country on a partial lockdown, with home-working advised and vulnerable groups told to socially isolate.
