Change to our complaints procedure

 

From 1st April 2013, our tenants will no longer be able to refer their complaints directly to the Local Government Ombudsman. Instead, they will be able to ask a ‘designated person’ or ‘designated tenant panel’ to consider their complaint once it has been through our two-stage complaints procedure.

 

Tenant panel

We are currently working with our Tenant Representatives  to set up a tenant panel and hope to have this in place by the Autumn. In the meantime local Councillors and MPs will carry out the role as ‘designated person’.

 

Updating our  comment, complaint or compliment Policy

Due to these change, we are currently reviewing our policy, which approved by Board and our Client Officers, will be published on our website and made available in local offices.

 

If you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact us.
