We’ve updated our 2025/26 Charter Technical Guidance for social landlords completing their Annual Return on the Scottish Social Housing Charter (ARC). This guidance applies from 1 April 2025. The Technical Guidance for the 2024/25 ARC – which landlords will submit by 31 May 2025 – remains unchanged.
In January 2025, we published the outcome of our consultation on the ARC indicators, including a revised Technical Guidance. Following some feedback from stakeholders, we have made a small number of changes to this, including clarity on definitions and the calculations we will use.
The changes we have made are set out on page three of the updated Technical Guidance. Both clean and tracked versions continue to be available.
