Awaab's Law: A step towards victory in the name of the little boy whose tragic death will lead to major change
The campaign to introduce Awaab's Law following the tragic tot's death has claimed a major victory, with steps being taken to ensure no other child loses their life due to exposure to mould at home.
Rochdale Boroughwide Housing , which owned the flat, has been stripped of its funding. Its chief executive Gareth Swarbrick was sacked after it emerged he earned £170,000 during the year of Awaab's death. The pair also intend to introduce time limits for private landlords to investigate concerns surrounding mould and damp.
"What we found in the block where Awaab died was many families in exactly the same boat. We spoke to at least three families who had notes from doctors that their home was basically harming their health. "The government is going to issue reviewed guidance and I think there is going to be a point in that.
Mr Gove and Mr Barclay wrote: "We are also taking more immediate action to ensure landlords understand the risks of damp and mould and act swiftly when necessary. Following the Manchester Evening News and Shelter campaign for 'Awaab’s Law', we will table an amendment to the Social Housing Regulation Bill relating to hazards in social homes.
