A car crash waiting to happen

15th July 2025 | 11:00 - 12:00

Think of a car’s warning light, it signals a problem you need to address immediately to avoid disaster. In social housing, overheating is a similar urgent warning, often overlooked until it becomes a serious threat to residents’ health and wellbeing.

We understand how complex managing these risks can be. That’s why in this webinar, Sam and Izzy from Switchee will share how overheating quietly escalates from discomfort to danger, putting ALL residents at risk.

You’ll discover the key factors driving overheating, the potential consequences, and how data-driven insights can help you spot the early warning signs before they turn into emergencies.

Our goal is to support you with practical tools and strategies so you can protect your residents.
