Welcome to CIH Unlocked, our member-exclusive publication delivering expert housing insight and analysis straight to your inbox.
We've a broad range of content for you to get stuck into in this issue, including an sit-down with our interim head of policy, communications and external affairs, Rachael Williamson — who, in a separate piece, recounts an enlightening visit to Poplar HARCA — and the big insights from our webinar on improving culture and tenant engagement in light of the final Grenfell Inquiry report.
To tie in with this year's 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, we've also got an informative interview with the domestic abuse commissioner for England and Wales, Nicole Jacobs, who shares her expert insight into the progress being made to tackle domestic abuse, particularly against women and girls, and how the housing sector can help to stamp out the problem.
Elsewhere in this issue, Justin Cartwright talks about the need to develop a more legally robust private rented sector in Northern Ireland, drawing on recent CIH analysis of letting agent regulations and practices throughout the UK and Ireland.
As always, you'll find plenty more to get stuck into, digest and enjoy. (For the best experience, click 'view in browser'.)
