On 20 January 2020, the government announced a package for reforms to improve building safety standards, described as: ‘the biggest change in building safety for a generation’.

The changes follow the Grenfell Tower fire, and include:

* The immediate creation of a new Building Safety Regulator within the Health and Safety Executive.
* Clarified and consolidated advice for building owners.
* An update on fire sprinklers.
* A consultation on extending the ban on combustible materials to buildings below 18 metres.
* A response to Phase 1 of the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry.
* Naming building owners where remediation has not started to remove unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding.

For more information see: Reform of building safety standards.

In and address to parliament explaining the reforms, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Robert Jenrick announced the recruitment of the first national chief inspector of buildings:

Ahead of legislation, the regulator will initially be in shadow form, and I am pleased to announce that Dame Judith Hackitt will chair a board to oversee the transition to this new regime. I expect the shadow regulator to be established within weeks, and we will be recruiting the first national chief inspector of buildings.”
