Mould in the home is an issue that reaches into every corner of Scottish community life, affecting families, health, housing, and opportunity.We are proud that on the day, the event will be supporting a veterans housing charity, recognising the particular housing challenges faced by those who have served Scotland and the UK........................................................The seminar is structured around 3 pillars:The Scottish Mould Action Awareness Seminar on 23 June 2026 is a full-day, practical working event not a conference, not an awareness exercise. Every session has been designed to leave you with something you can act on.The day is structured around three pillars:Pillar One: Exposure and Accountability.We open with the question every senior leader in the room needs to answer honestly: where is your organisation most exposed? Specialist litigation solicitors will set out the legal realities of Awaab's Law compliance not as abstract legislation, but as lived consequence. What happens when timescales are missed. What happens when documentation fails. What the regulator looks for, and what it finds. This is the session that reframes the rest of the day.Pillar Two: The Science, the Evidence, and the Technology.The seminar goes deeper than any awareness event in this space has gone before. Speakers will address the science of air quality and what it tells us about mould as a health system problem; the clinical realities of investigation and neutralisation — what works, what doesn't, and why the difference matters; best-practice approaches to investigation within the required timescales; and the role of technology in building an evidence base that is audit-ready and defensible. Case studies drawn from years of evidenced best practice will ground every session in operational reality.Pillar Three: The Panel.The day closes with a panel of leading voices across housing, law, science, and industry including Paddy Gray OBE, Professor of Housing, addressing the questions the room actually needs answered. This is not a staged Q&A. It is a working conversation for the people accountable for getting this right.Full details of speakers, panel members, and sponsors, all leaders in their respective fields, will be published on the Dunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce and Steri Systems websites in the weeks leading up to the event.Who should attend:Housing AssociationsLocal Authorities & CouncilsPortfolio LandlordsHousing Compliance ProfessionalsAsset & Repairs TeamsEnvironmental Health TeamsHousing Leadership & Executive TeamsAbout the hosts and lead sponsorDunbartonshire Chamber of Commerce is the host of this event, committed to convening the conversations that matter to business, community, and public sector leaders across Scotland.
