Primary sources

Official guidance.

My Golden Thread explains the subject in plain English. For duties and current regulatory requirements, always return to official sources.

Keeping information about a higher-risk building: the golden thread - BSR↗ Safety in high-rise residential buildings: accountable persons - BSR↗ Fire safety guidance for those with legal duties - Home Office↗ Building Safety Act 2022 - legislation.gov.uk↗

Use these as a starting point

The resources are general information-management tools, not an exhaustive statement of legal requirements and not a substitute for competent advice. Adapt them to the building, the applicable duties and your own governance.
