Tenant involvement in Stage 2 complaints

The tenant representatives involved in the Complaints Panel Pool have continued supporting and participating in Stage 2 complaints hearings.

This includes reviewing chronology packs of the complaint ahead of the hearings and discussing learnings from the complaint afterwards.

Key changes made include:

  • Following complaints about contractors not wearing ID badges, we've reinforced this message to all contractors to ensure they’re always carrying one
  • Following tenant feedback, Stage 1 Investigating Officers now call complainants at the start of all formal complaints. This has helped lead to an improvement in satisfaction with complaint handling from 46% in 2022/23 to 59% in 2023/24.
