Theme - Housing

Issue 1 - Housing - Role of the Scottish Housing Regulator

Reserved area – No

Delivery – Guidance

Target date – Complete

Planned activity

As previously reported, the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) commissioned report reviewing the UK Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023 against Scottish legislation found some alignment through the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 and their existing regulatory framework, which already reflects many Grenfell Inquiry principles.

Given we consider this issue is largely covered by existing approaches we consider it closed for Scottish Government interests. However, the SHR will continue to monitor developments and ensure its regulatory approach remains in line with best practice and evolving legislation.
