The Scottish Committees are delighted to invite you to an exclusive Mould Awareness Session, delivered by experts from McLarens, taking place at 2:00pm on 26 August via Teams.

As mould and damp-related issues continue to attract increasing attention across the property and insurance sectors, understanding the associated risks, legislative developments and potential implications for stakeholders has never been more important. This timely session will provide valuable insight into a topic that is rapidly evolving, helping attendees stay informed on emerging challenges and industry perspectives.

Led by Alan Smith from McLarens, the session will explore the causes and consequences of mould, current legal considerations, and the potential future impact on property owners, occupiers and insurers. Whether you work in underwriting, claims, loss adjusting, risk management or property-related disciplines, this promises to be an engaging and informative discussion.

The agenda will cover:

• What is mould?
• Causes of mould
• Health concerns associated with mould
• Treatment and remediation
• Awaab’s Law – does this impact Scotland?
• Potential impact on property owners in the future
• The insurer perspective – are policy wordings being amended to limit cover or introduce conditions relating to mould?

We hope you can join us for what promises to be a highly relevant and thought-provoking session.
