24 and 25 November 2026
SHROA Licensing Regulations Consultation Event
Online on Microsoft Teams. Two hours, £40 + VAT per delegate, 200 places per session. Both sessions cover the same content:
- Tuesday 24 November 2026, 10am to midday
- Wednesday 25 November 2026, 2pm to 4pm
Agenda
- Welcome and introduction: Purpose of the session, housekeeping and how to ask questions.
- Licensing as it stands: The Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023, the government response of April 2026, what is now settled and what is still open.
- The draft regulations explained: Who needs a licence, applications and the schedule of schemes, the fit and proper person test, licence conditions, fees, exemptions, enforcement, appeals and transition.
- Where the drafting needs to change: Cross-referencing errors, how changes to schemes are handled, the absence of decision deadlines, the 55+ exemption test, appeal rights and other points to raise.
- “Low support”, mixed cohorts and revenue risk: Why the “low support” designation, especially in mixed cohort schemes, could put Housing Benefit revenue at risk, and what to say about it.
- Responding to the consultation: The 19 questions, where responses will carry most weight, how to use the free SHP response template, and the evidence to include from your own services.
- Questions and next steps: Open questions, the timetable to the 10 December 2026 deadline, and what happens after the consultation.
The consultation closes on 10 December 2026. Our free consultation response template is ready to download now. Book your place below.
