Over the summer, we've been out and about at our schemes talking to you about fire safety and our new Safe Space Standard. 

We want to say a big thank you to everyone who came along, chatted to our team, asked questions and worked with us to make our shared spaces safer. 

We know keeping communal areas clear has meant a change. For some of you, it's meant removing personal belongings and decorations, and we understand this can make shared spaces feel a little different. 

Thank you for working with us and taking these changes on board. 

Keeping these areas clear helps reduce fire risks and makes sure routes through your building are safe and accessible in an emergency.

Not sure what can and can't be kept in communal areas? Our Safe Space guidance explains what the standard means, why it's important and what you need to do to help keep shared spaces safe.

If you're unsure about something in your communal area or have any questions about the guidance, please speak to your Staffs Housing team. We're happy to help.
