Cladding Safety Scheme
The Cladding Safety Scheme (CSS) is a fund that addresses fire risks associated with cladding on residential buildings. Its former name was the Medium Rise Scheme (MRS) which was announced in November 2022.
The CSS will support applications for buildings where the applicant[footnote 1] is unable to afford to carry out the work themselves or feels that it is not their responsibility to do so. An application for the CSS can be submitted by the person or organisation legally responsible for the building’s external repairs or their representative.
The CSS is part of the wider Building Remediation Portfolio whose objectives include ensuring that residents are safe from risks associated with fire safety.
