Webinar on the benefits of the Information Management Initiative

Register today for our ‘Safer homes: lower costs and delivering the Golden Thread; the benefits of the Information Management Mandate’ webinar.

This webinar is your opportunity to get a preview of the Information Management Initiative ahead of the formal launch on 7th November. You will hear:

• the benefits of adoption, including demonstrably safer building and lower operating costs;
• what the Initiative is and some steps you can take now to align your approach;
• what is likely to be contained in phase 2 of the Initiative and how you can get involved in that work.

You can also become an early advocate and adopter of the Initiative and participate in the November launch.
