Meeting Current Expectations in Complaint Handling

Join Dave Simmons and John Goodwin for this new training session about Complaints Handling.

This is a timely and important workshop as the Housing Ombudsman and Local Government & Social Care Ombudsman plan to publish a joint ‘Complaint Handling Code’ in January 2024 for implementation in April. This will be the first time that housing associations and local authorities will be covered by the same requirements – including timescales. Hear about the implications for residents and staff.


Who should attend?

The training day is aimed at residents and landlords involved in the management, scrutiny or oversight of social housing complaints.


Learning outcomes

The trainers will discuss:

  • The expected standards for good complaints handling and how to meet them in line with the Ombudsman's Complaints Handling Code
  • How the complaint handling climate has changed, with reference to the latest expectations and approaches for the Housing Ombudsman and the Regulator of Social Housing
  • Current themes and areas of focus of the Ombudsman's decisions and thematic reports and how approaches to complaints should be adapted to meet these changing expectations
  • Key tips for avoiding, resolving and reviewing complaints effectively as well as common pitfalls and challenges in complaints handling
  • How residents and play an effective role in ensuring an effective complaint handling service and culture
  • The importance of quality written responses - this will include reviewing some example Stage 1 and Stage 2 responses
