SHR Annual Assurance Statement
South Lanarkshire Council complies with the regulatory requirements set out in Chapter 3 of the Scottish Housing Regulator’s Framework. This includes that we:-
- achieve all standards and outcomes in the Scottish Social Housing Charter for tenants, people who are homeless and others who use our services
- comply with all our legal obligations relating to housing and homelessness, equality and human rights, and tenant and resident safety
In relation to equalities data collection and human rights, the council has well established processes and policies in these areas, with consideration already embedded in how we deliver services. Work is being progressed to further develop and adjust our existing approach to the collection of equalities and human rights information along with other changes to reflect the requirements of the regulatory guidance.
On an ongoing basis, the Committee specifically consider the information and evidence necessary to provide the required assurance.
The Annual Assurance Statement for 2025/2026 was approved at the meeting of the council’s Housing and Technical Resources Committee on 2 September 2026.
