If you live in one of the buildings listed/shown above, you're eligible to join our Resident Building Safety Panel:

As a member of our Resident Building Safety Panel, you’ll be able to:

• Review building safety information and resident feedback (on a quarterly basis).
• Examine general safety-related performance information and resident feedback to ensure standards are being met.
• Challenge us if you think we’ve fallen short (and ask to see evidence of how we’ve put things right).
• Raise any concerns about the safety of residents living in high rise buildings (and ask to see evidence of how we’ve put things right) - if you're not a member of the Panel, you can still tell us if you're concerned about something by emailing  buildingsafety@boltonathome.org.uk, or calling our Contact Centre on 01204 328000.
• Monitor the delivery of any planned building safety-related communications or engagement activities.

We'll involve you in our decision making through surveys, direct mail, face-to-face events at your building, reviews of our policies/documents, and more as the Resident Building Safety Panel grows and develops. And we’ll make sure you’re provided with an overview of any planned work that will contribute to the safety of our buildings.

As a member, we'll also provide you with training opportunities to enhance your fire and building safety knowledge, and you'll gain valuable experience working as part of a panel. We can provide IT training (or any other support relevant to your role on the panel), and we can provide information in whichever format suits your personal accessibility needs (including if you don't have regular access to the internet).

The Resident Building Safety Panel is part of our wider governance structure (which you can learn more about at: www.boltonathome.org.uk/governance-and-regulation), and members will report their findings, recommendations, and concerns to our Operations Committee each year.

We want you to feel listened to, respected, and reassured that we've done our utmost to ensure your building is as safe as possible for you and your neighbours - and our Resident Building Safety Panel is just one of the ways we hope to achieve this. Please get in touch if you think if being a member of our panel would be a good fit for you.
