Housing Safety & Compliance Specialist

Awaab's Law & Housing Safety Compliance, Delivered by Practitioners Who've Done It

I am Danny Bird, founder of SurePlus Solutions. I am an independent consultant and sector expert specialising in Awaab’s Law, housing safety compliance, business improvement and transformation. I work with and advise some of the largest housing associations and councils in the country, helping them strengthen compliance, improve safety and deliver better outcomes for residents.

My experience includes delivering three C1 ratings, leading regulatory recovery programmes, improving housing safety, implementing Awaab’s Law, delivering HHSRS requirements, responding to damp and mould cases, transforming repairs and compliance services and redesigning large scale digital systems. I deliver results to a high standard, but I do it with empathy, strong customer experience and genuine care for residents.

SurePlus Solutions works alongside a trusted group of associate directors who bring specialist expertise across housing safety, compliance, service improvement and operational delivery. Together we provide practical, hands on support that helps organisations meet new legislation, modernise services and build safer, healthier homes.

I am also a regular keynote speaker and deliver specialist training that helps teams understand the requirements, apply them confidently and improve the way they manage safety and compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you help us with an urgent regulatory notice?

We can usually review your data or begin on‑site support within 48 hours.

For urgent regulatory notices, we prioritise rapid mobilisation so you have immediate clarity on risks, evidence gaps and required actions.

Do you provide theory-based consulting or hands-on delivery?

We provide hands on delivery. Our work is grounded in practical implementation, operational recovery and real world service improvement. We do not produce theoretical reports or high level commentary. We focus on fixing processes, strengthening evidence, improving workflows and supporting teams directly so organisations can demonstrate credible sustained compliance.

What is your experience with the new Awaab's Law requirements?

We are led by founder Danny Bird and bring a level of practical experience with Awaab’s Law that is unmatched in the sector. Our work is built on real practitioner delivery across damp and mould transformation, HHSRS and regulatory recovery. We have supported organisations as they implement the new legal duties in live operational environments, including inspections, evidence standards, follow up actions and day to day workflows. This gives us a unique understanding of how the requirements translate into real world delivery.

Can you help us integrate compliance into existing IT systems?

Yes. The approach maps regulatory requirements into workflows, reporting and operational systems. We work with your existing platforms, including Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, WorkWise, Plentific and other housing and case management systems. This includes embedding evidence standards, hazard actions, follow up tasks and assurance checks into day to day delivery. The aim is to strengthen compliance, reduce duplication and give teams clear visibility of what needs to be done and when.
