The summer edition of Ignite is out now, and with it comes the ASCP26 conference supplement: your full preview of the only event dedicated solely to safety and compliance in social housing.
You can read the full edition here: https://publications.theascp.co.uk/Ignite-june-26.html
ASCP26 takes place on 8 and 9 September at ICC Newport, and as headline partner, CORGI Technical Services will be there across both days, on the main stage, in the exhibition hall and at our stand. Here is where to find us.
Our sessions
Smarter asset decisions: integrating gas safety into asset management and dilapidations planning Mark Duffy, Technical Consultant and DSEAR Lead
Gas safety does not sit in isolation. Mark explores how landlords can build gas safety into wider asset management and dilapidations planning, helping organisations make smarter long-term decisions while maintaining safety, compliance and value for money.
Beyond the EICR: taking electrical compliance to the next level Mark Sharples, Technical Consultant, Electrical
Electrical safety is about more than passing inspections. Mark looks at how organisations can move beyond minimum compliance and use assurance, oversight and good practice to build genuine confidence in their electrical safety programmes.
Navigating the new Heat Networks regulations: what social landlords need to know, and do, now Trevor Batt, Technical Consultant, and expert panel
Heat networks bring a new and evolving set of obligations. Trevor and the panel set out what the new regulations mean for social landlords and the practical steps to take now.
Ask a CORGI expert
Beyond the programme, our engineers and technical specialists will be on the CORGI stand throughout the conference. Bring your compliance questions directly to the team: gas scenarios, electrical queries, DSEAR, or anything in between. It is a straightforward way to get a clear answer from people who understand your world.
You will also hear from CORGI in a series of informal technical talks at the stand across both days.
More than technical content
This year’s programme has been shaped by delegate feedback, with more space for peer conversation, more practical sessions and more ways to connect. Alongside the technical updates you would expect, ASCP26 brings the access challenge front and centre, with the latest from the ASCP’s Access for Safety campaign and the Safety Can’t Wait Outside white paper, developed over 18 months with our support.
Add in keynotes from Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton and Lord Victor Adebowale CBE, a live Awaab’s Law courtroom drama, and 16 hours of CPD across three stages, and it is clear why this is the event the sector is talking about.
