The panel will also discuss the skills gap in the sector and how to ensure that installers possess the necessary skills.<\/p>\n<p>This new framework will apply across the UK, disregarding the devolution of retrofit policy, with bodies being established to ensure vigilance over the plan.<\/p>\n<h3>The board is made up of:<\/h3>\n<p>\u2022 Adam Scorer, chief executive, National Energy Action<br \/>\n\u2022 Gillian Cooper, director of energy, Citizens Advice<br \/>\n\u2022 Anthony Pygram, member of the Committee on Fuel Poverty<br \/>\n\u2022 Marion Baeli, principal, Sustainability Transformation, Egis<br \/>\n\u2022 Dr Hywel Davies, head of insight, Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE)<br \/>\n\u2022 Lynne Sullivan OBE, Board Chair, National Retrofit Hub<br \/>\n\u2022 Charlotte Lee, chief executive, Heat Pump Association<br \/>\n\u2022 Brian Berry, chief executive, Federation of Master Builders<\/p>\n<p>This panel seeks to gather insight from leading members of industry, as well as regulatory and consumer protection experts.<\/p>\n<h3>Poor quality insulation has led to the reforms<\/h3>\n<p>The alarming amount of poor quality insulation was discovered last year by TrustMark, an independent body overseeing tradespeople working in homes. They found that many instances of the solid wall insulation was substandard, including incomplete paperwork, insufficient ventilation, missing or exposed insulation, and damp and mould risks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/building-control-news\/poor-quality-insulation-installers-suspended-by-government\/147715\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">39 firms involved in the installation of the poor-quality solid wall insulation<\/a> were suspended for violating the Energy Company Obligation 4 (ECO4) and no longer have access to the Great British Insulation Scheme framework.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, minister for energy consumers, Miatta Fahnbulleh, said: \u201cI know this news will be concerning for people who have had external or internal wall insulation fitted through either scheme we have inherited.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why we are taking action to put this right, forcing installers to fix any poor-quality installations as soon as possible and at their own expense.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAffected households should look out for a letter from Ofgem, which will set out steps to resolve any issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is clear the existing system of protections for consumers we inherited is in dire need of reform. This will be front and centre of our Warm Homes Plan, as we work to make sure no households are let down in this way again.\u201d<\/p>\n<div
