HIAF was delighted to welcome Paul Bayly, Head of Compliance & Governance at the National Housing Federation as the key speaker at our latest members’ event earlier this month.

The event was chaired by HIAF’s co-chair, Helen Young of Home Group & was a critical topic for HIAF to address given that this latest Code of Governance is the Federation’s most ambitious to date, setting out brand new standards for how housing associations are governed.

The new 2020 Code of Governance has been completely rewritten, building upon the strength of previous codes & reflecting the latest developments in best practice.

Attendance of the event was exceptionally high, but if you missed out, then watch & listen at a more convenient time for yourself ….
