Damp and Mould Awareness Week webinars announced 

A series of webinars have been unveiled as part of a campaign tackling the damp and mould in housing across the UK.

The virtual events aim to provide landlords with practical guidance and specialist insight during Damp and Mould Action and Awareness week, running from October 20 to 26.

The webinars include:

• Understanding Damp, Mould & Condensation – Hosted by Professor John Edwards, offering a deep dive into the causes, risks and prevention of damp and mould;

• Damp & Mould: Understanding the Legal Responsibilities for Landlords – Led by legal experts Ashfords, outlining the current legal framework for addressing damp and mould;

• Tackling Damp & Mould: The Landlord Perspective – Featuring social landlord whg, exploring practical strategies for managing damp and mould across housing stock. 

This year, the awareness week comes at a critical time as the UK housing sector prepares for the introduction of Awaab’s Law, which will legally require social landlords to investigate and remediate damp and mould within strict timeframes.

A spokesperson for safety firm Aico, organising the week, says: “These webinars are designed to provide the practical guidance and insight needed to make a real difference in tacking damp and mould. 

“Last year’s campaign saw over 600 participants join our expert-led webinars, and we’re hoping to reach even more people this year. We’d encourage anyone involved in housing, whether landlords, tenants, or professionals, to sign up and take part.”
