Improving Gypsy/Traveller sites: progress summary

Next Steps

The Scottish Housing Regulator ( SHR) is the independent regulator of RSLs and local authority housing services in Scotland. Its objective is to safeguard and promote the interests of current and future tenants, homeless people, and others who use services provided by social landlords. That includes people living on Gypsy/Traveller sites provided by local authorities and RSLs. The minimum site standards are now part of the Scottish Social Housing Charter and this report provides a baseline for the SHR in its on-going oversight of the Charter.

The Scottish Government will continue to liaise with the SHR and site providers to ensure that all sites provide accommodation that is of a good standard to Gypsy/Travellers.
