Apprenticeships

The Competence and Conduct Standard introduces a sector-wide, outcome-based framework for those working in social housing in England, while also requiring senior professionals who deliver social housing services to gain or work towards a housing management qualification. The standard will come into force in October 2026.

It is great news for our BSHP members that apprenticeships (which can be fully funded) have been officially recognised and can be used to support the upskilling of our staff teams in preparation for the new Competence and Conduct standard. Please do reach out to Emma Peniket if you are interested in further discussions regarding opportunities.
