We talked to customers who had previously reported damp and mould and asked them for feedback on a newly designed leaflet. Westward colleagues can give these leaflets out to customers who might find them useful when out on visits. A digital version of this leaflet can be found here.

You told us that customer satisfaction was lower for customers with recorded vulnerabilities.

We did

We will introduce a new policy aiming to personalise service to customers that is appropriate for their circumstance. 

We collect feedback from customers in several ways. These can be in person, at coffee mornings, engagement activities, as part of our complaints process, satisfaction surveys, or as part of our neighbourhood visits. You can view more 'you said, we did' examples here.
