Data Governance for Social Housing Providers

The regulatory bar for social housing has shifted. Providers are no longer judged on what they intended to do, they are judged on what they can prove they did. This guide sets out what that means for your data, your systems, and your board.

The social housing sector has entered an era where evidence, not intent, defines accountability. Regulatory expectations from the RSH and Housing Ombudsman have converged on a single principle: boards must be able to demonstrate what was known, what was decided, and what action followed — supported by accurate, auditable, timely data. Data Governance for Social Housing Providers sets out why data governance has moved from an IT concern to a board-level capability, and what providers must build to meet today's regulatory standard.
