Gloucester City Homes Compliance Manager Tara Jones has won the Women in Safety and Compliance Award at this year’s ASCP Safety & Compliance Awards.

The Awards recognise the achievements of inspirational individuals and organisations working within social housing and facilities management sectors.

The Women in Safety and Compliance Award is awarded in recognition of an individual in the sector who has either gone above and beyond in their role to drive safety and compliance, or who is providing encouragement to other women in their organisation or sector through mentoring, support initiatives or inspiration.

Talking about the importance of the Annual Home Safety Check GCH carries out at every home, Tara says: “If you can’t be safe at home, where can you be safe?

"It’s so important that people’s homes and neighbourhoods are safe to give them peace of mind. That’s why we make it our highest priority.”

Executive Director of Customer Experience Michael Hill commented: “This is a well-deserved award and I would like to thank Tara and the whole Safety and Compliance team who support the management of our Compliance responsibilities throughout the business."
