P2 Keeping Homes Safe: Learning, Improving and Leading Beyond Grenfell

The Grenfell Tower tragedy exposed profound failures in housing, safety, and governance, reminding us that residents’ voices and human life must always come first.
In this session, journalist Kate Lamble BBC reporter for the Grenfell enquiry BBC Sounds - Grenfell: Building a Disaster - Available Episodes will reflect on what Grenfell revealed about our systems, culture, and accountability. Together our panel of speakers will explore how we move from ‘what’ happened to ‘how’ we can embed lasting change — prioritising safety versus cost, ensuring transparency at every level, changing culture, and building systems that learn before, not after, disaster strikes.
