Housing Ombudsman Complaint Code Self-Assessment
In July 2020 The Housing Ombudsman published its Complaint Handling Code. The new Code promotes the progressive use of complaints, providing a high-level framework to support effective handling and prevention, alongside learning and development. It also ensures that complaint-handling data is being used consistently across landlord members, promotes engagement at different levels within a landlord, and sets out expectations for boards (or equivalent governance), senior executives and frontline staff.
The Ombudsman expects landlords to carry out regular self-assessment of their complaints process against the Code and to take appropriate action to ensure their complaint handling is in line with the Code. Landlords are expected to report the outcome of their self-assessment to their board members and to make it available to the public. (In the case of local authorities, self-assessment outcomes should be reported to elected members.) Loddon Homes has also shared the Assessment with Wokingham Borough Council as Managing Agent, with Local Housing Company Board members and with staff.
If you would like to read our first self-assessment, it can be viewed here.
We have completed our 2024 self-assessment and made it available to the public here.
