Appendix 2 
Our Annual Assurance Statement
We can advise that during 2024/25 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 with the exception
of the management of gypsy/traveller sites. 
We acknowledge this area of non-compliance and continue to engage proactively
with the Scottish Housing Regulator through an established Engagement Plan. As
part of this process, we provide quarterly updates to the Regulator, outlining
progress, challenges, and actions taken to address the identified issues. 
We remain committed to achieving full compliance and are actively working to
improve our approach to the management of Gypsy/Traveller sites. This includes
ongoing internal review, stakeholder engagement, and the development of
appropriate service responses. 
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. 
To meet our level of assurance we considered appropriate evidence against each of 
the requirements as set out by the Scottish Housing Regulator, and we will continue
to review assurance throughout the course of the year. 
The Annual Assurance Statement 2025 to the Scottish Housing Regulator was 
presented and approved at the meeting of our Housing & Social Wellbeing
Committee on 1 October 2025.
