IMAGE: The Orkney Islands Council logo, showing a coat of arms above the words “ORKNEY ISLANDS COUNCIL.”

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.

Where additional explanatory information is required, this is included in annex 1 of the 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 10 September 2025.

Signed:

Cllr Gwenda Shearer,

Chair of Education, Leisure and Housing Committee.
