The government (GOV.UK) has published its annual English Housing Survey covering the year 2020-21. Gráinne Cuffe from Inside Housing looks at some of the standout findings from the first year of the pandemic.
Every year the government publishes the English Housing Survey (EHS), which provides a wide-range of information on people’s housing circumstances, the condition of their homes, and the efficiency of housing in England. The data is always incredibly useful for housing policymakers and campaigners.

The Housing Ombudsman is planning systemic investigation into record keeping for the housing sector.
With the Regulator of Social Housing agreeing in its latest Sector Risk Profile 2021, which acknowledges that inaccurate and incomplete data makes organisations, residents and individuals vulnerable. It stresses that:
- Accurate, up-to-date, complete and consistent data is fundamental.
- Board oversight, control and decision making is undermined by failure to maintain data integrity.
- Boards must have assurance that data integrity is appropriately managed.
- Failure to provide accurate and timely data that meet regulatory requirements will be reflected in the judgement of a provider’s compliance.

We can see that timely and accurate data is key for all registered providers these days.
