Tenant Satisfaction Survey 2023/24

Towards the end of 2023, we conducted our latest Tenant Satisfaction Survey.

Almost 1,000 households representing 44% of our tenants across the region participated in the survey, which covered various aspects of our services including rent and energy costs, communication methods, and digital connectivity.

We appreciate everyone who participated in the survey and helped us to refine its questions. If you're curious about the results, you can click the button below to browse through the findings and see how your feedback is guiding our efforts to improve your overall Loreburn experience.

Improving our complaints handling processes

We want to make it easy for you to tell us when you feel something’s gone wrong.

As part of our ongoing dedication to improving our services, we're excited to share updates on our complaints handling process and the key learnings from your feedback. 

  • We've enhanced our complaints policy and procedures to comply fully with the latest Scottish Public Sector Ombudsman regulations, ensuring a more transparent, fair, and user-friendly process for you.
  • Our frontline staff have completed specialised complaints training so they are better equipped to address any issues you might have.
  • Monthly complaints reports are now produced for our Executive Team to review the volume, outcomes, and key insights. Additionally, our Management Committee examines these reports quarterly to identify patterns and themes. 

Of stage one complaints have been resolved within our target timescales. 

Your voice, our actions

We believe in learning from every complaint. Here are some ways your feedback has helped us improve our services:

  • Letter templates: We've updated our letter templates to be clearer and more user-friendly.
  • Application forms: Additional staff training on application forms was implemented following your feedback.
  • Void process: A complaint led to updates in our void process to enhance clarity for our staff.
  • Grounds maintenance: Feedback prompted us to work closely with our contractors to manage and improve grounds maintenance proactively.
  • Communication issues: We organised refresher training to ensure our staff meet our GREAT Communications Promise.
  • Bin collections: Training on assisted bin collections was provided to all Housing staff to enhance the information and support we offer.

What's next?

Looking ahead, we plan to further improve our complaints handling process by:

  • Promoting good complaints handling through ‘lunch and learn’ sessions where staff review case studies and share best practices.
  • Empowering our customer-facing staff to resolve complaints at the first point of contact.
  • Making our complaints performance more visible to all staff.
  • Improving the complaints information available on our website and producing a dedicated complaints report.
