Why resident rights sit at the centre of occupation
Residents of higher-risk buildings have statutory rights to information, to request certain documents, and to raise building- safety concerns. Accountable Persons also need a residents’ engagement strategy under SI 2023/907 regulation 10 — consulted, reviewed, and linked to how risks are managed.
Engagement is not a marketing brochure. It is part of the occupied evidence chain that feeds the safety case and the Building Assessment Certificate pack.
Information, requests, concerns and strategy
Information for residents (s.89 / Schedule 2)
Accountable Persons must make prescribed building-safety information available to residents in plain English — including how to report concerns.
Requestable documents (Schedule 3)
SI 2024/41 Schedule 3 sets out documents residents or owners may request, with fulfilment duties and timescales.
Safety concerns (s.91B)
Residents must have a channel to raise building-safety concerns. Duty-holders need intake, triage, response, and audit — not a forgotten email alias.
Engagement strategy (SI 2023/907 reg.10)
A residents’ engagement strategy with consultation duties and periodic review — linked to the safety case, not a standalone brochure.
- Plain-English Schedule 2 information with clear “how to report” routes
- Schedule 3 request fulfilment with deadlines and audit
- s.91B concern intake, triage, response, and closure evidence
- Complaint SLAs under SI 2023/907 reg.12, including reconsideration
- Engagement effectiveness tracking — not vanity event counts
Practical clocks duty-holders miss
- Schedule 3 information requests — track working-day clocks and fulfilment or reasoned refusal
- Complaint handling under SI 2023/907 reg.12 — including reconsideration paths
- Engagement strategy consultation and review dates under reg.10 — evidence, not a PDF on a shelf
- s.91B safety concerns — intake, triage, response, and closure with audit trail
- BAC pack readiness — engagement strategy must be current before direction arrives

Link to BAC and fire safety
GOV.UK BAC guidance expects resident engagement strategy evidence in the pack. Pair this guide with FRA, fire doors, EEIS & PEEPs — evacuation information and PEEPs often surface through resident pathways.
