Strong governance has never been more important, whether you're navigating regulatory change, handling sensitive staff matters, or just trying to keep on top of your compliance duties. 

We've lined up four events over the coming months, tailored for board members and staff working across governance, HR, and data protection in housing associations. Each session is designed to be practical, relevant, and to the point. 

You can book for one or attend them all – whatever fits your role and priorities.
