Although I welcome your recent guidance for landlords on obtaining EWS1 assessments, it fails to address the national shortage of building surveyors, which is having a significant impact on obtaining EWS1 forms here in London. We know that as of November 2021 Government had only funded an extra 50 assessors out of a planned 2,000. What more is City Hall doing to get building surveyors trained here in London so that EWS1 forms can be issued more quickly?

How are these sessions being promoted and how is the Met reaching out to ensure women from communities which have the lowest levels of confidence in the police can take part?
