Workshop: Housing regulation in Scotland
Michael Cameron – Chief Executive at the Scottish Housing Regulator
The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) oversees the performance of social landlords to ensure they provide high-quality housing and services. It protects the interests of tenants and service users by monitoring compliance with regulatory standards and the Scottish Social Housing Charter.
During this session, Michael Cameron – Chief Executive at the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) will provide a comprehensive overview of the SHR’s role in regulating social housing and the process of reviewing the Annual Return on the Charter (ARC) during 2024/25. To support this review, the Regulator has established advisory groups to work with it to consider the current ARC indicators and help it to develop appropriate and meaningful indicators on tenant and resident safety, including new indicators on damp and mould.
