The Complaint Handling Code
The Complaint Handling Code
From April 2024, all social landlords must follow the Housing Ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code, which is now law. This Code explains how complaints should be managed and what customers can expect from us.
Every year, we publish a Complaints Performance and Service Improvement Report. This shows:
- How well we have handled complaints
- What we have learned
- What we are doing to improve services
We also publish our self‑assessment against the Ombudsman’s Code and any actions we need to take.

Complaints compliance
Statement of compliance
Listening to customers and acting on feedback is a key part of how our businesses run.
When we put together our yearly complaints report:
- Our Board reviews the evidence behind our self‑assessment
- John, our Board Member responsible for complaints checks that we meet the Code
- Our Customer Feedback Panel and Resident Voice Panel review the draft
- The final report is approved by our Board
This makes sure that we are compliant and improving how we respond to complaints.
Complaints and Service Improvement Report
This report explains:
- How we performed against our service standards
- How we judge ourself against the Housing Ombudsman's Complaint Handling Code
- Where things went wrong and what we have done to put them right.
We have published our self-assessment against the Complaints Code within the report above, and as a stand-alone version below:
