At Leeds Federated we want to make sure we learn and improve services following complaints as well as put right any problems. We also want to make this process as easy as possible for you and not further add to any stresses or difficulties. Of those customers who have made a complaint in the last twelve months only 45% were satisfied with our approach to complaint handling, and we want to improve this.
Over the past few years, how landlords deal with complaints has come to the fore with the introduction of new powers for the Housing Ombudsman as well as social media commentators and campaigners like Kwajo Tweneboa highlighting poor living conditions.
In January we introduced new roles-Complaints Co-ordinator Beth Metcalfe and Customer Resolution Manager Leigh Dunbar, and we are also making changes to how we deal with complaints to make sure that if you have cause to make a complaint you are kept informed of what is happening and any problems are resolved quickly.
To help us make this process the best it can be we would like to invite customers to an online webinar and discussion group to discuss complaints and how we deal with them.
