3B "External Wall Insulation Report: New NAO report - Energy efficiency installations under the ECO scheme" Getting it right

This session will explore the key findings from the National Audit Office’s new report on external wall insulation installations under the ECO scheme. We will examine where installations went wrong, the systemic issues highlighted by the NAO, and what housing providers, contractors, and policymakers must do to ensure quality, safety, and compliance in future retrofit programmes. Attendees will gain clear, practical guidance on “getting it right” — from improving oversight and accountability to strengthening on-site practice and long-term performance.
