Ms Madeleine Delaney:

We are reliant a lot on getting information from people, but one of the reasons we need to engage with the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority is that we need to understand the sector from its perspective. It has more information on the AHBs than we do, including on their make-up. We can try to identify then where we think the greater risks are by virtue of how they are structured, what their constitutions look like and how much they engage with us and engage the register. They are all things we could look at. We can also proactively check whether they have the measures in their constitutions they should have. We can check whether they are applying the model they were intended to apply as opposed to just renting accommodation. It can fall back to us, but the Approved Housing Bodies Regulatory Authority would be best placed to look at it initially.
