Tpas Grenfell Statement - 5th September 2024
Thursday 5th of September 2024
Yesterday saw the publication of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry Phase Two Report.
There is a huge amount to take in from the document and we will engage with members once we’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the findings in full.
What is clear is that this is a truly heartbreaking and sobering read for everyone living and working in social housing.
When trust collapses between landlords and tenants, and when the voices of people living in social housing are left unheard, there are consequences – in this case, they were deadly.
Our hearts go out to all the survivors and bereaved families and our thoughts will always be with them.
