How we're governed:

Our organisation is overseen by a Board and its Committees, operating under a defined set of governance rules that set out how we manage our internal arrangements to deliver our objectives.

We have a current Board of nine Non-Executive Directors and two co-opted Non-Executive Directors. The Board is supported by:

Our Customer Experience Committee

Members of our Customer Experience Committee make sure that our frontline services are working to provide the best possible services for our tenants and other customers in our communities. Learn more and get details on how to join when we have vacancies.

Our Group Audit and Risk Committee

This Committee ensures strong financial controls, audit oversight, risk management, GDPR compliance and value‑for‑money across Be One Homes.

Our Group Customer Scrutiny Panel

Our Group Customer Scrutiny Panel gives tenants and residents the opportunity to scrutinise our policies, services and actions with the aim of making continuous improvements for customers. The panel will act as a critical friend providing constructive, evidenced feedback.

Our Group Development Committee

The Group Development Committee is responsible for assisting our Board in fulfilling its development responsibilities and monitors the performance of such activities across Be One Homes.

Our Group Governance and People Committee

This Committee ensures high‑standards in governance and HR, regulatory compliance, and effective relationships between the Board, Executive Team and wider organisation.

Our Youth Scrutiny Panel

Members of our Customer Experience Committee make sure that our frontline services are working to provide the best possible services for our tenants and other customers in our communities. Learn more and get details on how to join when we have vacancies.

Agendas for Board and Customer Experience Committee meetings will be posted on our website in advance of each meeting.

We have adopted the National Housing Federation’s (NHF) Code of Conduct and NHF Excellence in Governance and regularly assess compliance with these standards and publish the outcomes in our annual reports.

How we're regulated:

We operate under the oversight of the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH). The regulator sets the regulatory standards, requirements, and specific outcomes that all registered social housing providers must comply with.

Regulatory Framework - our Grading Improvement Plan:

We were inspected by the Regulator of Social Housing in April 2024 and received compliant grades across all standards:

While this was a positive outcome, we recognise that further improvement is achievable.

Since the inspection, we’ve been working closely with the Regulator on a Grading Improvement Plan. You’ll find our Grading Improvement Plan in the ‘Governance documents’ section at the bottom of this page.

About the Economic and Consumer standards:

  • Governance and Financial Viability Standard: looks at how well an organisation is run and if it is financially viable.
  • Value for Money Standard: looks at whether a provider is making the best use of its resources to meet its objectives.
  • Rent Standard: establishes the requirements around how registered providers set and increase rents for all their social housing stock in line with government policy.

Maintaining compliance with the regulatory standards:

Each year, our Board needs to verify that we’re meeting the economic and consumer standards and confirm this in our annual report for customers and our financial statements.
