Appendix 2 Our Annual Assurance Statement We can advise that during 2021/22 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 materially comply with gas safety regulations, as the Housing Service did not complete 15 gas safety checks in 2021/22 by the anniversary date. All but one of these missed services were the result of Covid-19 restrictions due to tenants shielding or self-isolating. One was due to a miscommunication with the external contractor not attending at an agreed time. All properties with gas now have updated gas safety checks and there are currently no outstanding gas services. We are confident that our obligations will be met during this year, where it is possible to do so. We confirm that we have seen and considered sufficient evidence to give us this assurance. We approved our Annual Assurance Statement at the meeting of our Housing & Communities Committee on Wednesday 7 September 2022.
