Fulfilling the Duty of Care: How Jigsaw Conferences Ltd CAT Services Empower Social Landlords During Disasters

When disaster strikes, the responsibility falls upon social landlords to ensure the safety and well-being of their tenants. However, Inside Housing and the Insurance Claims Accommodation Bureau (ICAB) conducted a survey that raised questions about whether landlords are adequately prepared to handle emergency decants. Considering these concerns, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd's CAT (Crisis Accommodation Team) services offer a comprehensive and efficient solution to empower social landlords in providing emergency accommodation during times of crisis. This article explores the survey findings and highlights the positive impact of Jigsaw Conferences Ltd's CAT services in fulfilling the duty of care to tenants.

1. Swift Response and Reliable Support:
The survey revealed that only 35% of respondents had an emergency helpline to manage urgent decants outside office hours. This deficiency can lead to delays and inefficiencies in addressing tenant emergencies. Jigsaw Conferences Ltd's CAT services stand out by offering a 24/7 emergency helpline, ensuring that social landlords can provide immediate support to tenants when they need it most. By facilitating a swift response, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd enables landlords to fulfill their duty of care, guaranteeing the safety and well-being of tenants during crises.

2. Access to Suitable and Inclusive Accommodation:
One of the major challenges highlighted in the survey was the difficulty in sourcing appropriate emergency accommodation for tenants with disabilities, mobility issues, or pets. Jigsaw Conferences Ltd's CAT services address these challenges by leveraging their extensive network of partner venues that prioritize accessibility and inclusivity. Through their expertise in accommodation management, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd ensures that social landlords can swiftly identify suitable temporary housing options for tenants with diverse needs, thus maintaining their duty of care and avoiding unnecessary disruptions.

3. Cost-Effective Solutions:
The survey also highlighted the financial implications faced by housing organizations during emergency decants. While 26% of respondents reported having no budget for emergency decants, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd recognizes the importance of financial planning and offers cost-effective solutions. Their CAT services work closely with social landlords to optimize accommodation expenses, aiming to spend less than £50 per tenant per night. By providing transparent and adaptable budgeting strategies, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd ensures that emergency accommodation remains affordable without compromising the quality and comfort required for tenants during challenging times.

4. Professional Support Beyond Accommodation:
In addition to providing emergency accommodation, Jigsaw Conferences Ltd's CAT services go above and beyond to offer holistic support to displaced tenants. The survey highlighted the lack of knowledge and support from staff members when dealing with emergency accommodation. Jigsaw Conferences Ltd tackles this issue by offering comprehensive support services that encompass counseling, financial advice, and community engagement initiatives. By partnering with Jigsaw Conferences Ltd, social landlords gain access to a wealth of expertise and resources that extend far beyond the provision of physical accommodation, thus ensuring tenants receive the care and assistance they require during crises.
