Regulator launches digital channels for communication
The Building Safety Regulator (BSR) has launched dedicated social media channels to provide updates on building safety guidance, news and events.
BSR stated that the new channels follow its transition to a standalone organisation earlier this year and are intended to create a direct line of communication with industry and residents.
The channels will share building safety guidance, resources and information on online webinars and events.
They will complement the organisation’s GOV.UK page and its existing campaign website.
BSR stated: “The new channels will allow us to provide a direct, focused line of communication to everyone interested in building safety and the work of BSR.”
Access to information, updates and training
Following the new BSR channels will provide access to information for high-rise residents across England and updates on building safety reforms and legislation.
Users will be able to view links to transparency data and official guidance, alongside campaign updates and technical information for the construction sector.
The channels will also include details of free training, toolkits and webinars, along with opportunities to take part in BSR research projects.
BSR produces three regular ebulletins for industry, responsible persons and high-rise residents, providing updates on guidance, recent developments and opportunities to contribute feedback.
More than 21,000 subscribers currently receive these updates, with sign-up available for further users.
BSR stated that it will continue to expand its digital presence and update its website as additional platforms are introduced.
