Improving our performance

Complaints can help us identify areas where we can improve. For example, in response to problem areas, we have:

  • set up a special complaints forum to check a sample of all complaints and report back on the quality of the response to those complaints. The group is made up of our managers, tenants reps, and staff from the companies that carry out our repairs and home improvements
  • trained our staff on new complaints policies and procedures
