CB Voice from CareBuilder: Supporting Supported Living Awaab’s Law Compliance
Porters Care introduces CB Voice from CareBuilder, a built-in communication and alerting device for social housing and supported living. This solution helps providers meet Supported Living Awaab’s Law requirements by improving early detection, communication, and response.
CB Voice combines live two-way voice, resident-initiated calling, event-triggered alerts, and environmental monitoring. Housing and support teams can spot issues earlier and act quickly. As Awaab’s Law reshapes expectations, providers need better visibility and faster escalation. CB Voice helps teams detect damp, mould, and environmental risks sooner while building a clear audit trail.
What is CB Voice in Supported Living?
CB Voice supports social housing, supported living, retirement housing, and adult social care. It offers a practical alternative to a CB HomeHub and focuses on early intervention.
The device helps teams respond to damp, mould, temperature risks, communication needs, and anti-social behaviour. It connects with CareBuilder’s Pillars of 5 model, which routes alerts to the right people. These include residents, family members, housing staff, care teams, and response services through TMcare and the Virtual Care Centre.
This connected approach removes isolated alerts and enables faster, coordinated action.
Why Supported Living Awaab’s Law Requires Earlier Detection
waab’s Law requires social landlords to investigate damp and mould within strict timeframes. Providers must act quickly and keep clear records.
CB Voice helps teams meet Supported Living Awaab’s Law expectations by identifying risks earlier. The device tracks humidity and temperature trends that may signal damp or mould. Teams can act before issues worsen.
This approach improves prioritisation. Staff can focus on the most urgent cases and plan visits more effectively. It also strengthens reporting by providing consistent, data-driven evidence.

More than an Environmental Sensor for Supported Living
CB Voice improves more than environmental monitoring. It strengthens communication and supports resident wellbeing.
Residents can use simple voice features to contact support teams. The system can also trigger automatic calls when it detects a potential welfare concern. This helps providers support residents who may struggle with traditional communication methods.
The device can also help teams manage noise and anti-social behaviour. Configurable thresholds allow early triage, while optional audio recording supports evidence collection where consent is given. Temperature monitoring adds another layer of protection for vulnerable residents, especially in dispersed supported living settings.
A Smarter Supported Living Awaab’s Law Response Model
CB Voice fits into a wider response system that includes Pillars of 5, TMcare, and the Virtual Care Centre. This model ensures alerts reach the right person at the right time.
Housing providers benefit from faster responses to environmental risks and better triage of welfare concerns. Teams use their time more efficiently and reduce unnecessary visits. At the same time, residents gain reassurance because providers manage issues proactively.
You can explore broader housing standards via Housing Ombudsman Service to understand expectations around complaint handling and landlord response.
Supported Living Awaab’s Law Made Easier
CB Voice combines communication, environmental monitoring, and intelligent alerting in one device. It helps providers meet Supported Living Awaab’s Law requirements while improving daily support.
Housing teams can detect risks earlier, respond faster, and make better decisions. At the same time, residents benefit from safer, more responsive environments.
