Validation and Consultancy

New for 2025.

Following our acqusition of CD Consultancy we are now offering an in-depth ARC validation service.  This involves working with relevant staff to examine the ‘data behind the data’ with a view to ensuring the Technical Guidance is fully understood and is being followed; that any information provided can be evidenced and is properly aligned to the definitions as set out by Scottish Housing Regulator.

The In-depth Validation service is your opportunity to have your data reviewed by an external expert acting as a ‘critical friend’, with the ultimate aim of supporting you to achieve accurate reporting.
