The inquiry finds no additional recommendations needed beyond the changes made in the Social Housing (Regulation) Act

The Grenfell Inquiry has not made specific recommendations for the regulation of social housing providers, despite acknowledging the “systemic failings” of the tenant management organisation and oversight failures by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. 

The inquiry’s final report critiques the way the TMO handled complaints, remedying defects identified in fire risk assessments, installing and maintaining fire protection systems and carried out routine inspection and maintenance of fire doors.

It says under different circumstances “shortcomings of those kinds would probably have led us to make a number of recommendations directed to ensuring that they were rectified and not repeated.”
