Summary
In this Social Housing Round Table session, hosted by Elaine Middleton, we were joined by Jan Taranczuk and Chloe Gallagher for an important discussion on why a person-centred approach to fire safety matters. The conversation explored how fire safety extends beyond compliance and process, focusing instead on people, behaviour and lived experience. Jan and Chloe highlighted the risks of one-size-fits-all approaches and discussed how understanding residents, their needs and their environments is essential to meaningful fire safety outcomes. This session offers valuable insight for housing professionals looking to balance regulation with compassion, and to place people at the heart of fire safety decision-making. Big thank you to Case Management Solutions Group Ltd and Alertacall Ltd for sponsoring The Social Housing Round Table, without them, none of this would be possible.
