• the Grenfell Tower Inquiry
• prosecuting those who bear responsibility for the tragedy
• consider the implications of the removal of the Building Safety Manager role from the Building Safety Act
• coroners’ recommendations
• whether regulators are appropriately resourced under the current regime

RISCAuthority is an annually funded research scheme supported by a significant group of UK Insurers and part of the Fire Protection Association membership scheme.
