Appendix 2 Our Annual Assurance Statement We can advise that during 2023/24 Perth and Kinross Housing Service complied with all except one regulatory requirement as set out in Chapter 3 of the Scottish Housing Regulator's Framework. This confirms that we: • achieved all the standards and outcomes in the Scottish Social Housing Charter for tenants, people who are homeless and others who use our services. • complied with our legal obligations relating to housing and homelessness, equality and human rights, and tenant and resident safety. The Council did not achieve 100% compliance with Electrical Inspection Certificate Reports (EICR). 28 properties did not have an EICR. The lack of compliance is largely due to the reluctance by some tenants to grant access to their property to allow testing to be completed, the complex support needs of some tenants and over 14 properties awaiting to have an EICR check completed as part of the void process. From the various Service performance reports, combined with the management and democratic structures, which are all designed to provide the proper scrutiny of performance and the achievement of outcomes, along with the Service’s Improvement Action Plan, we confirm that we have seen and considered sufficient evidence to give us the assurance that the Housing Service are meeting the SHR regulatory requirements.
