The Code of Guidance (COG) is a set of legal requirements and professional standards that public sector housing providers in the UK must adhere to when fulfilling their obligations to tenants. It outlines best practices to ensure that housing authorities provide high quality housing and services, while protecting the rights and interests of tenants. The COG covers a range of topics including tenant engagement, health and safety, asset management, property management, and services to tenants. The purpose of the COG is to ensure that public housing providers are adhering to the law and providing a decent and safe standard of housing, while respecting the rights and interests of tenants. It also ensures that housing providers are held accountable for their performance and provide value for money. The scope of the COG is wide, covering a variety of housing-related issues and services, ranging from property management to tenant engagement.
