The BRAC golden thread working group was established in November 2020, with full MHCLG and HSE support. The working group was drawn from the BRAC membership and supplemented with industry co-opted experts following discussions with the Industry Safety Steering Group, chaired by Dame Judith Hackitt, which recognised that BRAC was in a key position to advise MHCLG and HSE on this work.The working group brings together experts in digital information management, operation of residential buildings and portfolios, fire safety, design and construction of buildings, building and housing and workplace legislation.The group was created with 4 key objectives:- to provide expertise from across the built environment and housing sectors to work with MHCLG and HSE officials on developing achievable and sustainable golden thread requirements- to facilitate active industry engagement in developing the golden thread policy building on the UK’s world leading standards for digital information management in the built environment- to support MHCLG and HSE in driving the implementation of the golden thread within the built environment and housing sectors- to promote the culture of building safety and accountability required to adopt and manage a golden thread across all relevant sectorsThe group serves as the primary source of advice to officials on golden thread policy and facilitates MHCLG’s and HSE’s engagement with industry
