The Scottish Housing Regulator (SHR) has today published its annual summary of the notifiable events reported by Registered Social Landlords (RSLs) during 2024/25.

Notifiable events are things that RSLs must report to the Regulator as they could potentially pose a risk to tenants’ interests, the landlord’s operations, or the broader reputation of the social housing sector.

In 2024/25, RSLs submitted 50 notifiable events within the health and safety category, as opposed to 42 the previous year.

The Regulator reported that:

🔹 Health and Safety NEs are not reported under formal subgroups, however a review of submitted NEs in this category shows that falling architectural elements, missing safety checks and fires were the most frequently reported NEs, accounting for close to half of submitted NEs in this category.

🔹 Staff/Contractor injuries, RAAC, cladding, missed asbestos surveys and other miscellaneous issues made up the remainder of the NEs reported in this category.
