Building a Safer Future Charter

Vision: An industry committed to putting people's safety first The Building a Safer Future Charter has been created to promote an urgent and positive culture and behaviour change in the safety of the built environment. It is about putting people’s safety first in how we plan for, design, build, maintain, and look after the safety of the buildings we live, work or play in and protect those that use them. The Grenfell Tower tragedy brought to the absolute fore the need to ensure the safety of all the buildings we live, work, and play in. The BSF Charter is a proactive response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s Building a Safer Future Review in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. The Building a Safer Future Charter is an independent not-for-profit organisation. It is clear that in relation to the built environment there is a need for substantial culture change, to bring in new practices, to learn and develop and work hard at trying to reassure the public and regain their confidence and trust in the safety of buildings, both in how they are built and also how they are managed. The Charter has an essential role to play in helping to facilitate culture change and drive development and learnings around a collaborative community of those committed to putting people’s safety first. Organisations across the built environment are invited to apply to become a Registered Signatory of the Building a Safer Future Charter by emailing enquiries@buildingasaferfuturecharter.org.uk Visit www.buildingasaferfuture.org.uk to find out more.
