MHCLG remain keen on continuing to support local authority teams in preparing for the levy regulations coming into force next year. As a result, MHCLG are holding a series of webinars, which began in September 2025 and will run through until May 2026.

Designed specifically for registered Class 1 building inspectors who previously worked unsupervised before April 2024 on any project type and who are now considering registering at a higher Class, and all other Registered building inspectors from Class 2A - F who are seeking to keep their competency knowledge up to date.

It covers the new dutyholder and competence requirements, updated application routes (including applications for approval with full plans, statutory consultations and the Building Safety Levy), and clarifies the main notification stages and information to be provided to the local authority (for example, commencement and fire safety information), alongside the building control authority’s powers to require reasonable tests.

The course takes a technical look at recent and emerging changes to Schedule 1 and Approved Documents B, L, M, R and T, together with the updated version of BS 9991, other associated guidance such as the Approved Documents FAQs, and the Future Homes Standard. It also explores updated enforcement powers and the appeals process, the transition from Approved Inspectors to Registered Building Control Approvers, and the handling of initial notices.
