NAS Certification for
Social Housing Contractors
Independent, evidence-based compliance certification for contractors working in social housing, registered provider, and ALMO supply chains.
Demonstrate compliance to housing associations, ALMOs, and social landlords — covering Modern Slavery, lone working, Equality Act, and GDPR for resident-facing work.
Why It Matters
Social Housing Procurement Demands Resident-Safe Compliance
Registered providers and ALMOs face scrutiny from the Regulator of Social Housing. Their supply chains must demonstrate compliance — particularly around Modern Slavery, Equality, safeguarding, and resident safety — before contractors enter occupied homes.
NAS certification gives social housing procurement teams independently assessed evidence that your business complies with the laws and standards that resident-facing work demands.
