St Basils Board Response to the Complaint Handling and Service Improvement Report 2024
St Basils are registered with the Housing Ombudsman Service (HOS). The HOS have been set up by law to look at complaints about housing organisations that are registered with them. The service is free, independent and impartial. They resolve disputes involving the tenants and leaseholders of social landlords. Residents can contact the Ombudsman at any time for support in helping to resolve a dispute. They will consider complaints using their dispute resolution principles, and encourage landlords and residents to use these principles to resolve complaints together at the earliest possible opportunity.
The Housing Ombudsman Service have produced a Complaint Handling Code that sets out requirements for member landlords that will allow them to respond to complaints effectively and fairly. It can be found at The Housing ombudsman’s Complaint Handling Code. As part of the HOS’s complaint handling code, social housing landlords are required to publish a self-assessment on how they meet this code. A copy of the St Basils HOS self-assessment can be viewed below.
