The fire risk assessor hired to check the safety of Grenfell Tower put letters after his name suggesting professional registrations that either did not exist or which he did not have, the inquiry into the disaster has heard.
Carl Stokes, a former firefighter who was recruited by the Grenfell landlord, used six “post-nominals” when he was bidding for the job but agreed under cross-examination at the inquiry into the disaster that they had either “come out of [his] own head because they didn’t exist or were thoroughly misleading truncations” of courses he had undertaken.
Grenfell Tower survivors lacked advice on what to do in a fire and were made to feel a “nuisance” when raising complaints with landlords, an inquiry has heard.
Former residents of the block that was struck by a deadly fire in June 2017 said they never took part in fire drills and claimed to be unaware of the building’s “stay put” fire safety policy.
Extracts from a number of ex-residents’ written witness statements were read to a public inquiry into the blaze on Thursday.
Mohammed Rasoul, who lived in flat 25 with his family, claimed they were not spoken to about fire safety by anyone from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC), which owned the block, nor the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management Organisation (TMO), an arm’s-length body which managed it.
