London Borough of Ealing

Setting the Standard (StS) scheme is a pafn-London project to ensure Bed & Breakfasts and Studio Apartments used by 31 local authorities for temporary accommodation meet the minimum required quality standard whilst being inspected on a more frequent basis than other Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) accommodation, due to their use as accommodation for homeless households.

The project links together a dedicated central inspections team, with a new, purpose-built Setting the Standard IT system to share inspections data across the participating boroughs. It includes a service management system, mobile inspection app, and provider and local authority portals.

Tales from the front line: ‘The old system was clunky’
A new inspection scheme is helping London authorities fulfil their obligation to inspect all temporary accommodation annually.
