The release of our public report:  Charter Data Insights 2025-26 – Performance Highlights by SHN provides a high-level overview of performance across Scotland’s social housing sector.


We released the 2025/26 Charter performance dataset on 3 June 2026, within 72 hours of the deadline for landlords to submit their Annual Returns on the Charter (ARC) to the Scottish Housing Regulator. This rapid turnaround enables early access to sector-wide performance insights, supporting timely analysis and decision-making.


This year saw record participation, including contributions from a growing number of non-member organisations. As a result, our dataset now covers approximately 90% of the sector, offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date view of Charter performance currently available.


The Charter Data Insights 2025/26 report  summarises key highlights and makes them accessible to both members and non-members.


In addition to the public report, SHN members benefit from enhanced access to detailed performance data through its bespoke Business Intelligence tools. These tools incorporate both Charter indicators and additional metrics, enabling more granular analysis and providing early insight into how individual organisations are performing relative to their peers.


Members can explore this data through SHN’s exclusive tools, including the ARC Table and Chart Generators, available via the SHN portal:

Max Scotto, SHN’s Service Improvement Manager, said:


“I am absolutely thrilled to see the majority of social landlords in Scotland contributing promptly, with 150 out of a total of 167 landlords sharing their Annual Returns with us. This allowed us to provide early benchmarking insights at an unprecedented scale.


This year, we have also worked closely with our members and stakeholders to enhance our dashboards and develop new indicators, giving landlords more meaningful and actionable insights to support planning and respond to emerging challenges.


I would like to thank everyone for their continued participation and encourage further submissions. Landlords can share their data by emailing a PDF copy of their ARC to data@scotlandshousingnetwork.org.”
