Regulation and Compliance 

Introduction

Cloch Housing Association is regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR). The SHR checks that social landlords across Scotland are well‑run, financially healthy, and delivering safe, high‑quality services to tenants.

This section brings together all the key regulatory information tenants may want to view, including our Annual Assurance Statement, Engagement Plan, Landlord Report, and guidance on complaints and Serious Concerns. Everything here is designed to help you understand how we are performing, how we are governed, and how you can raise any concerns.

In this section:

Annual Assurance Statement

Every year, our Board reviews how well Cloch meets the Scottish Housing Regulator’s Standards of Governance and Financial Management. They then publish an Annual Assurance Statement to confirm that we comply, note any areas for improvement, and outline the actions we are taking.

What you’ll find here:

  • Our most recent Annual Assurance Statement
  • A short summary of the key messages
  • Previous years’ statements (archive)

This statement shows how confident we are about our governance, financial health, tenant safety, and overall organisational performance.

Engagement Plan

The Scottish Housing Regulator publishes an Engagement Plan for every landlord. It confirms our regulatory status and sets out what information we must provide throughout the year.

What you’ll find here:

  • A link to our latest Engagement Plan
  • A simple explanation of what the plan means for tenants
  • Contact details for the SHR’s engagement lead (if applicable)

The Engagement Plan gives tenants an independent view of our performance and how we work with the Regulator.
