Annual Assurance Statement

We achieve all of the following standards and outcomes for tenants, people who are homeless and others who use our services:

  • All relevant regulatory requirements set out in Chapter 3 of the Regulatory Framework.
  • All relevant standards and outcomes in the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
  • All relevant legislative duties.
  • We are compliant with all aspects of tenant and resident safety.

Where additional explanatory information is required, this is included in annex 1 of the attached report and will be reproduced in the contextual information provided with the Annual Return against the Charter to the Scottish Housing Regulator.

I confirm that the Council’s Education, Leisure and Housing Committee have seen and considered appropriate evidence to support the level of assurance we have at the meeting held on 9 September 2026.

Signed: Councillor Gwenda Shearer.

Chair of Education, Communities and Housing Committee.
