Governance

Introduction

Cloch Housing Association is a Registered Social Landlord and a registered charity. Strong governance helps make sure we are well run, financially secure, and delivering good‑quality services to tenants and communities.

This page explains how Cloch is governed and signposts you to more detailed information. We have split information across a small number of clear pages to make it easier for tenants and service users to find what they need.

How Cloch Is Governed

Cloch is governed by a voluntary Board of Management. The Board is responsible for setting our strategic direction, overseeing performance, managing risk, and making sure we meet our legal and regulatory responsibilities.

Day‑to‑day management of the organisation is carried out by the Leadership Team, who are accountable to the Board.

Cloch is regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) and is also registered with OSCR as a Scottish charity. This means we must meet nationally agreed standards of governance, financial management, and service delivery.

Our Board and Leadership

The Board of Management:

  • Sets Cloch’s vision, values, and strategic priorities
  • Oversees financial performance and risk
  • Ensures tenants’ interests are protected
  • Holds the Leadership Team to account for performance

Strategies and Plans

Every three years, Cloch sets out its vision, objectives and priorities in a forward‑looking Business Plan. Our most recent review was completed in March 2025, and the plan is now known as the Business & Operational Plan, reflecting both our strategic direction and day‑to‑day priorities.

Key Plans and Strategies

The Business & Operational Plan highlights the key areas of focus for Cloch over the three‑year period and sets out how we will work towards delivering high‑quality services, safe homes, and strong outcomes for tenants and communities.

To support delivery of the Business & Operational Plan, we have a number of plans, strategies and a supporting policy schedule. These set out how different parts of the organisation contribute to our overall objectives and help us assess the impact of our work.

These include:

Key strategies are published where appropriate, with others summarised across relevant areas of the website.

Performance

Our Board of Management and Leadership Team are responsible for overseeing Cloch’s performance and ensuring we meet our regulatory duties and service standards.

We regularly report on our performance, including how we are doing against the Scottish Social Housing Charter and how our services compare with other landlords.

A breakdown of our key performance information is available in our Our Performance section. This includes:

  • Our Annual Report to tenants
  • Our Annual Return on the Charter (ARC) submission to the Scottish Housing Regulator
  • Information on service outcomes and improvements
