Stay ahead of new regulations and demonstrate your commitment to safe, healthy homes. The Awaab’s Law Starter Kit combines three essential awareness-level courses to ensure your team is fully up to speed with the latest legal requirements and best practices on damp and mould, housing hazards, and Awaab’s Law compliance.
