Complaints Consultation
In May 2024, we asked for feedback on our complaints process - and whether you think we are doing what we say we will.
Why did we ask for feedback?
We wanted to know, based on customer experience, if we are following the Complaints prodcedure outlined in the Housing Ombudsman Code. We have to submit an annual ‘self-assessment’ to the Regulator to show that we are doing what we say we will - and we wanted your input. How did we handle you complaint and was it in line with the Code?
Who did we ask for feedback?
- We asked 328 customers who made a complaint in the last twelve months.
- 9 customers attended the complaints meeting at our office.
- 5 customers responded to our online survey.
