To ask the Scottish Government when it last conducted an audit of the housing management profession workforce, skills and succession planning required to support the profession and the delivery of the Housing to 2040 strategy.
The Scottish Government do not have a remit in relation to the training and skills of the housing sector workforce, social landlords have a duty to train their staff appropriately and this includes the upcoming delivery of any Housing to 2040 outcomes, and private landlords must meet the legal standards required, but specific professional training is not essential.
