Complaints Performance and Service Improvement

The new Complaint Handling Code from the Housing Ombudsman Service became statutory on 1 April 2024, making it a legal requirement for landlords to adhere to its guidelines. The code aims to establish best practices in complaint handling, ultimately enhancing the service provided to residents. Further information on the Housing Ombudsman and the code is available on their website: www.housing-ombudsman.org.uk.
