Complaints procedure

The stages after you have complained to us.

  1. How your complaint will be handled

    When you raise an issue, we’ll check to see if we can handle it as a complaint. We will let you know if there is a different process for dealing with the matter.

  2. What happens if you aren’t satisfied with the response

    If you’re not satisfied with the response you received at stage 1, you can ask for your complaint to be escalated. 

  3. What happens if you aren’t satisfied with the response at the review stage

    If you’re still not satisfied with our response to your complaint, you can ask either The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman (LGSCO) or, if the complaint relates to tenant/landlord functions, the Housing Ombudsman Service (HOS), to investigate your complaint. You will usually need to have completed both stages of our complaints process before the Ombudsman can help.
